I was born and raised in Menji-Fontem, one of the local communities of the Lebialem Division in the South West Region of Cameroon. I didn’t have it easy growing up as an adolescent girl. Though I was fortunate to have learned about Menstruation in Primary school, it still did not stopped me from using and old towel during my very first Menstruation because of how I thought and felt people will look at me if I went to the store to get sanitary pads. I was ashamed to tell my own mother that I was menstruating. Life was still not easy for my siblings and me. We didn’t come from a well to do family, so we struggle most of the times to get it better. As other village girls I will do odd jobs at times to buy my text books and during holidays I will set a petit business so as to buy my school needs when schools were resuming. It was only after my primary school and part of secondary, when one of Uncles, whom I still call “Daddy” even in death, took me from the village to Limbe and things became much better for me. As a grown woman, I still have my ups and down moments with life and I have also experienced a health condition during pregnancy know as Gestational Diabetes. These are some of the forces behind my commitment to giving back to my community by empowering young girls and women through Education, Good Health and Well-being, so they could find the resources to live up to their full potentials.
