By Abigael Mutheu, a student at She’s the First’s partner Savana Kitui
I am powerful, so powerful indeed
I can make choices in my own
I am powerful, so powerful indeed
I can chose what is right and
wrong I am so powerful
I say No to early marriages,
I am powerful, so powerful indeed
I am powerful because I am made
fearfully and wonderfully made
I can say no to female genital
Mutilation (FGM)
I am powerful, so powerful indeed
Nobody should make choices
for me.
I am powerful, I can make my choices
alone
I am powerful, so powerful indeed
Abigael and Mary Mutheu are girls in She’s the First’s partner program Savana Kitui in Kenya. Abby wrote the poem above as a Girl Gazette advocacy activity, and the two of them made this activism poster together.
