The Gift of Speaking Out

I am the oldest of three children and very outspoken. It could be be/c I'm the oldest or be/c I'm a gemini or another reason....that I'm so outspoken. 


To live in a country that enables free speech and for everyone is an amazing blessing. When we (women) see problems or issues we can speak up and voice our opinion. When we don't agree with what we are told, we can disagree. When we see injustices, we can say so. When we are abused, raped or violated we can go for help and be protected. We can go to the doctor and have our babies in hospitals. We can run for government positions and vote. We can run huge companies and voice our ideas. In America we have the freedom to succeed and the ability to advocate for ourselves. This is not true for the whole world. 


Camfed is an organization that educates and empowers girls and women to succeed and live a good life. Camfed recently filmed a documentary called Where the Water Meets the Sky. 


"Camfed's film Where the Water Meets the Sky, which chronicles the journey of a group of women in a remote region of northern Zambia who learn filmmaking as a way to speak out about the most pressing issues in their lives.
