Determined to be a great woman



I'm a woman that grew up in a society that believes that women education ends in kitchen, where men are trained and women left behind.

I see newsletters of fashionistas i read about women in model and I also found out that the dress worn for run ways were sew by a lady. I become curious of the world outside the world I live, I realized that there is a world where a woman was known and identified, I started dreaming of that world, but then I had a limitation, the lady and her model where white and I'm Africa (Black), so how can I achieve this. 

"The one thing on my mind then was, at least I have seen a lady that did not only end up in kitchen, but end up in a newspaper in Africa. I was joyful"

My long story short, I was moved and determined and told I can proudly tell you that I import my own goods directly from china to Africa.

 I had a dream, there where limitations around me, I saw a light and I was determined to shine bright through that light

I am Lydia the shining light
