Discovering me: Slay the giant of insecurity (Part 2)
A sweet friendship refreshes the soul. 007 is today’s guest writer and she is an amazing friend of mine. In fact, more like a sister to me. She is among life’s treasures to me for her gentle honesty, constant support and reassuring presence. I believe she’s given us nothing short of that in this article. Giving her personal testimony of her journey in discovering herself, her vulnerability offers great insight to the practicality of dealing with the giant of insecurity. She’s really poured herself out for us, hence we edited it all into two articles. Today, you shall receive the second part of her contribution to the Discovering me series following the first part that was posted yesterday.

In her own words, RuthPearl(RP) describes herself as a Strategic Communicator, Storyteller as well as an Evidence Enthusiast. What I'd add to this is that her enthusiasm for life coupled with her depth of knowledge makes her a lady any young girl would look up to. Countless times, she sheds light on the areas no one is willing to speak about and this boldness is something worth writing home about.Read more
