It was an impactful day as Shalimar Abbiusi took part in a girls’ empowerment initiative, the ‘Hey Girl School Tour’ aimed at encouraging young girls to remain in school and believe in their potential.
The event, founded by broadcast journalist Miriam Mensah, popularly known as Mimi Kay, brought together young girls at the Sakumono school complex for a transformative experience focused on confidence, education, and making positive life decisions. The atmosphere was filled with excitement, inspiration, and hope as the girls engaged in discussions about their dreams and future ambitions.
Shalimar, who has become an international diplomatic voice working across Africa, shared her personal journey of resilience and transformation. Speaking candidly about overcoming bullying as a child and navigating challenging seasons in her life, she encouraged the girls to embrace their uniqueness and remain steadfast in their education. Her message centered strongly on the importance of education, discipline, and wise decision-making.
“Education is your power,” she told the young audience. “It gives you independence, choices, and a voice. The decisions you make today will shape the woman you become tomorrow.”
Beyond her inspiring words, Shalimar demonstrated her commitment to the cause through a generous donation made via the I Am Human Foundation. The contribution will go toward paying school fees and supporting the educational needs of the girls, ensuring that financial barriers do not prevent them from continuing their studies.
Founder Miriam Mensah (Mimi Kay) expressed appreciation for Shalimar’s involvement and partnership, highlighting the importance of strong female role models investing in the next generation.
The collaboration underscored a shared vision: empowering girls through education and mentorship so they can grow into confident, capable leaders.
Shalimar expressed heartfelt gratitude for the opportunity to support the initiative.
“I am truly grateful to come on board and support this amazing initiative,” she said. “When we invest in girls’ education, we are investing in the future of our communities and our nation.”
The event concluded on a high note, with smiles, affirmations, and renewed determination among the participants. It was not just an event, but a meaningful step toward building a brighter future for young girls through education and empowerment.
Indeed, it was a truly great day, one that reflected the power of community, leadership, and purposeful action.
