100 years on! 5 years going...
In this exclusive Divas of Colour edition celebrating the woman of today, we focus on mental health awareness. 

International women’s month is a perfect period to remember and celebrate the many contributions of women around the world. Can you believe it’s only hundred years ago that women won the right to vote in Britain? But it’s not only in the West that women have been fighting. All around the world women have been pushing hard to have their voices heard, their contributions recognized.
From Africa to Asia to America, a bit of history can take us a little back to the many ways women continue to champion causes that have brought us this far.

In 1929, 89 years ago, the Nigerian Igbo women wedged war against the warrant Chiefs appointed by the British, whom the women accused were restricting the role of women in the government. This protest is known as Aba Women’s riot. According to the British colonial records, the Aba women’s riot is known to be the most aptly strategically executed anti-colonial revolt organised by women to redress social , political and economic grievance. During this revolt, many warrant chiefs were forced to resign and as a result of this, women were appointed to serve on the Native courts.
This is not the only account of women standing up for themselves and their rights. There are several well documented facts of historic women who have led vigorous protests which resulted in the gradual positioning of women today.
At Divas of Colour, we believe that if, we shine light on the achievements of women, we are able to inspire and encourage an army of high achieving younger women who will get to know that there is no limit to what they can achieve of aspire to be.

Husband. Weight loss. Kids. Career. What to wear. Your face. Once a woman hits a certain age, these words begin to find their way into her life at every turn. You find you’re bombarded from every angle with these words whether you want to or not. These words find their way into your daily conversations from friends, colleagues, even acquaintances. 

But now, this has got to change for you as women learn to overcome these common societal expectations and learn to thrive and take charge of your own life focusing on what matters most to you.

It is time for you to begin to ‘untime’ yourself from the societal timers by practising simple daily mindset shifts that will help you see the world in dramatically different, and more empowering and positive ways. And when you begin to see the world and your life differently, you also will begin to behave differently. Realising a whole world of possibilities where a woman has a lot to offer and achieve at her own time defined and planned out by herself for her ultimate life purpose other than that societal box filled with time bombs waiting to explode. 

Unfortunately we still have to discuss these issues in 2017, surprisingly never shocking though. If somehow we have had to be dealing with slavery creeping back into our narratives in this era, then one begins to wonder if at all we have achieved any civilisation 

In this issue however, we want to channel back your mind to better things to focus on to bring about these behaviour changes that will pave the way for more happiness, success and fulfilment. 

You can dictate how your life pans out. Now take it back and take charge. Be the woman in control .

Stay with us,
