Growing up, my dad and mum were not on good terms. They later separated. This had a deep impact on me.
When I finished secondary school, I was yearning for love. There was so much emptiness inside me. I had an inferiority complex and other personal challenges I couldn’t talk to anyone about. So, I began to search for love outside. I began to look up to guys to affirm & love me and I found myself in the wrong relationships. I experienced several attempted rape cases that didn’t go through, thanks to God.
When I got to Covenant University, I began to hear a lot about God’s word and that began to transform my mind. I went for National Youth Service and everything took a new turn. I met a guy. Here I was, coming from a place where I was really looking for love. I didn’t have many guys walking up to me. I felt ugly and believed there was nothing good about me. I was a mess and an emotional wreck, so the attention from the guy was wow! We got intimately involved but he later changed and became violent. He would talk to me anyhow and insult me. The relationship became abusive.
I had to summon up the courage to leave the relationship, but when I left, it had messed me up so much that I became a freelancer. I found myself moving from one undefined relationship to another. One day I prayed, “God send me someone. I’m lost.”
I became stable in church and shared my story with the pastor. He began to help me.
One particular day in church, I was in tears. Nothing was moving forward and Satan kept haunting my mind. I told God I wanted a ministry to come out of my experiences as I didn’t want to waste them. I wanted to help other people. From that moment, my change began!
Today, I have a ministry called The Unveiled Woman Network. We help ladies who have gone through shame, rejection and reproach. We help women from broken and dysfunctional homes that have left them traumatized and pushed them into things they shouldn’t do.
We have reached over a thousand ladies. God turned my mess into a message!
