Feature Friday with Afro Queen, Varaidzo (Vee) Kativhu This week, we're shining a spotlight on her awesome project called Empowered by Vee. Empowered by Vee is a charity academic empowerment platform that helps and equips students with the skills, resources and confidence to thrive in higher education. Founded in 2018, Empowered by Vee emerged from Vee's understanding of her own experiences growing up in a low-income family. She realized the barriers and struggles many students face in pursuing higher education. Empowered by Vee is more than just a platform; it's a movement for change. It's about breaking down barriers, empowering individuals, and fostering a community of resilience and determination. It's made of a team of students who desire to see higher education accessible. Through their efforts, they're not just changing lives – they're changing the world, one student at a time. Join us next week Friday as we uncover more about our feature Friday Personality. Follow this page for more inspiring content in the future. Credits: @veekativhu #afrobenji #afrogenz #featurefriday #charity #empoweredbyvee #foundation #highereducation #blackexcellence

The Journey continues ---- Principles ---- There are Principles in life that we must obey to attain certain results. Without a principled Orientation we cannot achieve any outcome. Behind every principle is a promise as trees and green plants obey the principles of nature, even if concrete was on the ground, their obedience breaks the concrete and the tree is made whole. Therefore Life is not hard, obedience is hard. Amongst us here are footballers, doctors, Engineers, dancers, Athletes of races, writers, speakers, planners, managers, even hairdressers, we are born to different gifts and different strengths as you write exams, you sometimes tend to develop a phobia that stops you from experiencing academic success. This academic success can be achieved if only you are given the reasons of your gifts. The principles to academic success is studying. Why then do we study? Most of us are caught in this trauma of academic downfall, only because we've not been given enough reason to study! Do you know the football you are gifted with can be linked to your study life? The same way you play music or run or sing can relate to your study life through Principles alone. Therefore academic Success is not hard but obedience to study principles is hard. We all have gifts some outside the walls of academic enrichment. So goes the question, since I have gifts, WHY MUST I STUDY.. #makeadifference #talent #love #community #people #education . #school #training #ngo #nfo #grants #funding #donate #crowdfunding #donors #donorlove. #charity #nonprofit #nonprofitsupport #volunteer #volunteeropportunities #makeadifference #makeadifferencetoday #helpingotherssucceed #4change #philanthropy #philanthropymatters #giveback #fundraising #fundraise #getfunded #unitednations #happyfounders #impact #change
