She handed over certificates of appointments, certification of mentors, appreciation of active members in the organisation, and launched of its two journals; “The Confident Youth Journal” and “Confident Woman Journal”.
The journals are part of the organisation’s efforts to inspire confident youths and women go through a self-discovery and personal development journey.
Confidence is boosted through being a master of content and doing self-introspection daily.
Speaking on the sidelines of the launch, Kasukuwere expressed her thoughts on how the journey is not easy yet still is grateful to the people who constantly push the organisation’s vision forward.
Coach Emmah Incorporation promotes disability inclusion. When leadership is mentioned, it often refers to administration for persons without disabilities.
Ordinary, it talks less about leadership for and of the disabled. Poverty and disability reinforce each other, which leads to exclusion and increased vulnerability.
Young people with known disabilities are less likely to hold professional or management positions than those without disabilities – 33.7percent with disabilities versus 40.3 percent without disabilities.
The organisation believes disabled youths need to be given leadership roles in different activities they partake in and sprouting support groups where the disabled and non-disabled work together in areas like career guidance, leadership, and self-care aimed at boosting confidence and helping the disabled feel they are part of a society that accepts them.
On the day of the event, the audience was served with spoken word from Cynthia P Chieza, some music by Mqondisi Phakati and Kudzai Maposa as the MC led the proceedings.
Coach Emmah Incorporation represents leaders, business entrepreneurs, activists, teachers, men, and women of honour at grassroots level confidently writing sound success stories.
