#MotivationMonday

So the last week has been jarring and disorienting- perfect time to stop, smell the coffee, take a break and re-engage with a couple of friends, human to human, heart to heart. Such a simple act that is fast becoming a lost art in the hustle and bustle of cyber noise, career-chasing and the realities of adulthood. All the same, sharing is caring and without each other this journey wouldn't be worth taking. So, in exploring how I want to grow this year, I wanted to share a letter of motivation I worked on this week. Just some light reading for your coffee break :)

I live by values of integrity, inclusivity and transparency so studying in Sweden is a matter of choice and circumstance as well as a life philosophy I desire Africa to reflect.

As a Millenial living in the emergency context of the 2019 #ShutdownZimbabwe, the possibility to influence and develop processes in the role of Networking Liaison between Digital Security Emergency Responders and Civil Society would restore access and voice the silent screams accumulating beneath the ice-wall barrier of radio silence. Subscribed to Agenda 2030 Sustainable Development Goals; 4; 5; 10; 11; 16 and 17, a master’s programme in Sweden can enhance my abilities to a greater extent with competencies in line with the mandate of the Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights.

Also, as Women’s Education and Africa are global priorities, I aim to translate social consciousness (Ubunthu), into children’s books encouraging them to make ethical decisions in a multicultural and globalised world.

Spanning 13 000 hours I contributed to policy-making for the Teachers Competencies and Standardisation Framework (approved as a working document by Southern African Development Community Ministers);and Project Monitoring in Technical and Vocational Education Training (i.e CFIT, CapED and STEP in Malawi, Zambia and Zimbabwe) in my role as Education Programme Consultant (UNESCO Regional Office for Southern Africa).

Contributing to social development, civic engagement and economic development, through Corporate Earth I am collaborating on a race-reconciliation TV comedy series unearthing the intricacies of interracial relationships embedded in Zimbabwe’s complex historical segregation policies. The company also served as the resource mobilisation coordinator of school stationery for Early Childhood-Development centres and primary schools in rural and peri-urban areas (like Seke, Marikopo and Caledonia) because the difference between being privileged and underprivileged is one pencil. The partnership (Choices Sarudzo Trust, Innovate HPC and the Yellow Bus Trust) achieved and surpassed the target to fill and deliver 10 boxes to 46 schools whose class size ranged between 45-50 children.
