Dear Change Maker,

What’s your heart posture like? There was once a young beautiful lady who happened to be one of those who claim to be so passionate about social impact. On her social media page, she writes and talks so much about social impact to the extent that everyone has come to believe in her passion. You would even think she can and would go to any length to cause a change, so she thought as well. Not too long after she happened to be posted to a rural area that was suffering from the aftermath of a war that occurred and she had to work as a volunteer to impact the children in this area, she then discovered the true posture or state of her heart towards social impact. She had to come to a place of being honest with herself especially when she saw how those who don’t even claim to be passionate about social impact are passionately and willingly impacting these children suffering from the aftermath of the war. She wondered what then had she been doing on social media. “Am I living a double life?” ...

HOW TO DO EVERYTHING WITHOUT DOING EVERYTHING

…. hey, jack of all trade come closer. Can you come a little closer? Can you pay a special attention for the next 2 minutes? I have something to tell you my fellow jack of all trade buddy. There are some of us that can’t just stop dreaming of so many things simultaneously.  You have so many big goals you want to achieve. Today, you want to tackle SDG 1. Tomorrow, it is SDG 4. Next week, it is SDG 13. Then another time, it is SDG 17. As you keep envisioning, you can’t seem to let go of one for one. Everything just seem so attached to you. They all resonate so well with you that you want to create an impact. Everyone keep telling you to focus on one so that you can be excellent.  They keep telling you how confused you are because you just can’t settle your mind on one thing. You keep changing or bringing up new visions when you are not a chameleon. You then begin to wonder, “am I really confused? Is it possible I don’t know what I am doing?” Funny enough, you are not even excell...

ONLY TRUE SOCIAL IMPACT LEADERS SHOULD READ THIS❕

Discipline has come to be a rare commodity. It’s not like it’s difficult to get but it becomes hard to sustain. One of the traits that makes successful people successful has to be the discipline they have imbibed to stay true to their course. Distractions would always want to find it’s way and make one lose focus hence resulting to little or no productivity.  What makes the successful look like they are soaring effortlessly has to do with their discipline to keep their focus despite the so many luring distractions to keep them off track. As a social impact leader, who wants to experience progress in a particular sector has to learn the art of discipline and train herself to be disciplined. The reason is this, in the process of switching lanes multiple times, there is a high tendency for you not to believe in yourself or your dream any longer. You begin to doubt yourself and the authenticity of your vision or dream. This can be as a result of focusing so much on the results of other...

SCHOOL NA SCAM‼️(What everyone believes VS the hidden truth)

To talk is always cheap. There is nothing like you having the experience yourself to know the consequence of the things you say or do just from your perspective of life. There is really more to what you see. It’s very possible for you to think that in this time that we are, no one or place would be without internet even any network to make calls. That’s probably because of the regular access you have to it. As an undergraduate or secondary school student, you might even see your going to school as a waste of time. This is probably because you feel like they are not teaching you how to make money overnight.  As a youth with so much vibrancy and high self esteem, someone who knows what she wants for her life, looking down on others might be easy for you. This is also possible because you’ve been exposed to a certain knowledge and you believe so much in this knowledge that it has helped greatly in shaping the way you think hence giving a beautiful outcome of your life. Now, LISTEN. Ev...

HOW TO BECOME IMPACTFUL IN YOUR FIRST CHILDREN OUTREACH WITHOUT EXPERIENCE

Personally, I’m not the kind of person who loves hanging out with children a lot because of all the drama that comes along with them. It’s either you are over shouting or having to endure how they keep coming to you for every single thing. If you are someone like me, you would definitely understand what I mean.  You would always find yourself in a situation shouting “why me now, sobs”(lol). The funniest part is now that the same me who doesn’t really like having children around, always find herself getting involved with children in regards to social impact (from giving them quality education, to empowering them with life skills, to teaching them on health related topics and how they can take care of themselves, to empowering them with the required knowledge to break free from sexual harassment, to even being a safe haven for them to always open up to). How all these became possible you might be wondering right now. If you find yourself in this situation whereby handling children is...

THE #1 MISTAKE YOU SHOULD AVOID THIS 2023 IF YOU ARE A CHANGE MAKER

Often times, it starts with a goodwill. There is excitement that lightens you up whenever there is an opening to be part of a significant change or humanitarian work. You are the first person to send a DM or an email when there is a call for volunteers. You have about 20 organisations you are a part of. You show a lot of energy like you can be relied on. Funny enough, you really want to be a part of the change. You want to combine impacting lives and running your business. You want to combine impacting lives and still being focused on your academics. Honestly, no one would have voted me as the most dedicated social impact leader in high school. I did my best not to get involved as much as I could avoid it because I don’t want to be in the fore front, fear of messing up, I don’t want to be evaluated. As it is popularly said, “anything that is worth doing at all, is what doing well”.  I would have to say that those who are not even volunteers at all are better than those who are one ...

THIS 2-MIN READ WOULD IMPROVE YOUR NEXT OUTREACH RESULT

As a social impact influencer, finding myself in a new rural community stirs up so many feelings within. There is the feeling of wanting to revamp the whole community because of their low state of living. From their water system to their economic status, to even their health centre. Everything is just below the standard of healthy living. It’s so sad but there are people living here. After so much deliberation, the health centre has become my major focus for now due to the poor state it is. This is a place people have to go to receive treatment when ill yet it’s so sad that one might even get worse at such a place. Still stay with me as I carry you along my plan on a project for the health centre in this rural community. PLAN FOR A PROJECT IN THE RURAL HEALTH CENTRE. 🔅 INVESTIGATION:  Venturing on this kind of project seem new especially if you are not in the health field hence you need to do your investigation about what really is the problem. Go to the health centre itself and o...
