KORA award winner Chidinma covers April issue of MyStreetz Magazine.
“My belief about Chidinma‘s growth and success is that she is indirectly sharing the same mindset with Sheryl Sandberg,
one of the most powerful women in America right now; the co-pilot of
the biggest network of humans the world has ever seen which is the chief
operating officer of Facebook.
Sheryl Sandberg in
her latest book titled ‘Lean In’, a memoir-slash- ‘sort of feminist
manifesto’ in which she encourages women to pursue their carrier with
more rigor. According to this woman who runs a 66 million dollar tech
company and sees it as not much of a challenge, Sandberg’s thesis is
unique. Stripped of many caveat, it boils down to this, like she puts it
-
‘the sisters are doing some of it
to themselves. For a variety of reasons, they are not aiming high
enough. They’re underestimating their abilities. They’re doing too much
housework and child care, They’re compromising their career goals for
partners and children- even when such partners and children do not
exist’. ‘We hold ourselves back in ways both big and small, by lacking
self-confidence by not raising our hands, and pulling back when we
should be leaning in’ in her words.
Such feminist manifesto which drove female artistes such as Onyeka Onwenu, Funmi Adams, Stella Monye, to mention a few, to great heights, also drives Chidinma to achieve all the once unattainable things she now poses. This is why we are asking the question, Can you challenge Chidinma?”
This April edition will be out on news stands very soon.
