My Story
My philosophy about women’s rights, women’s control of their bodies and reproductive decisions, inspired me to study women’s issues and mental health during my doctoral program. Feminism was the major focus.

Scared Kids
Children often carry fears that adults may overlook-fear of rejection, failure, change, loneliness, or uncertainty. What makes anxiety different for children today social media shows them at an early age that they are not safe in the world.
Yet within those fears lies an extraordinary capacity for resilience. When children are supported with patience, encouragement, and understanding, they begin to discover their own fortitude and determination. Each challenge becomes an opportunity to build courage, confidence, emotional strength.
'Resilience does not mean the absence of fear; it means learning to move forward despite it. Through caring relationships and positive guidance, children can develop the inner strength to persevere, adapt, and believe in their ability to overcome life’s difficulties with hope and determination.
