A Nigerian woman recounts experience in childhood and how she rose above all odds to success.
Chimezie Anajama, a Nigerian lady of the igbo tribe has shared her inspiring story which revealed how she rose from grass to grace.
She was the second eldest of five children in a family with poor financial status and was given away by her parents early in childhood.
Chimezie did not officially reunite with her biological family until she entered university at age 19.
“Sometimes I feel like I don’t brag about myself enough, especially considering where I am coming from”, she said.
She said she saw many housegirls in her childhood, and looking back now, she wishes something can be done about the househelp trend.
Her experiences caused her to develop a passion for public policy, development cooperation and social inclusion, especially in the areas of social protection, governance, taxation and education.
She was able to accomplish her educational dreams through a scholarship she obtained.
She made it despite rough childhood
Now, she has over five years of knowledge and practice in development cooperation, public policy, economic and social sector development in Nigeria, South Africa, Uganda and Germany.
She pursued her master’s degree in Development Management at the Institute of Development Research and Development Policy, Ruhr University Bochum, Germany.
“It is a major leap which I only dreamed of but never really believed was achievable until God started manifesting his will in my life.”
Chimezie Anajama is an inspiring example of someone who has risen from humble beginnings to achieve remarkable success in her field.
