I want to share a short and touching story of a returnee who’s name is VIVIAN. Vivian is from Benin City, Nigeria. Before Vivian was sold the dream of going to Europe, she used to teach kids agricultural science in a local school in Benin. She was told about the gold and diamonds she stands to get if only she decided to move to Europe. Out of excitement and hope, Vivian decided to agree to be sponsored by a madam who brought her to Europe. Getting to Europe, Vivian faces the reality of things now knowing that she is in debt which she has to repay and her only way of surviving will be doing sex work for her madam. She was sold a false dream. Spending cold nights in the streets of Europe, the loneliness, the nights she has to cry alone and still stay strong because she still hopes for a better future and life. Vivian was able to save up some money for herself without her madam knowing. She saved up enough to buy a ticket to Nigeria where she currently is. Vivian now runs a tutorial center for young kids who can’t afford the regular schools, she also holds night tutoring specifically for adult citizens who wish to get a formal education. The moral of Vivian's story to me is, no matter the obstacles and disappointments, there is definitely light and hope for a better tomorrow. Vivian is back on her feet and will continue to contribute positively to her community. There are thousands and millions of Vivians out there, let’s do all we can to ensure they do not fall victim to people who wish to take advantage of them for their selfish intentions. It’s time we changed the perception. @UNDP recently released a migration report that tells the stories of 1,970 irregular migrants in Europe from 39 African countries. Head to link in my bio @Onlyteda to learn more. #ScalingFencesUNDP I now challenge my friends @leye_mg, @damboye and @darasiyanbola to share their stories and encourage you to tell yours. https://www.instagram.com/p/B5KW-ftlu7q/?igshid=umzp5prvdwq1

COKE BOTTLE Coke bottle is used to describe a woman with a certain type of curvy shape and body structure. However, a woman's look should not be the basis for anyone to judge who she is, who she wants to be, and what she can do. A woman should be free and should live as freely as she wants to, expressing herself as much as she wants to. https://www.instagram.com/p/B3UAeOQFVVx/?igshid=4rmk6k9umbsq

SISTERS 60x60 Inspired by the actions and activities of women who support other women. Women who are constantly in service of other women, looking out for them and fighting for justice. It is also very important that MEN get actively involved in fighting against injustice against women. #art #artist #capetownart #behance #tobyemmanuelart #tedaart #teda #africanart #love #newyorkart #nocommission #muralart #mural #ekonovo #eko #nigeria #boldisbeautiful #bib #women #boldwomen #boldblackwomen #africanwomen https://www.instagram.com/p/Bzxj74Zl-Ek/?igshid=z1tedzddyhim
