She Took This Radical Step To Self-Discovery

Oh, was I excited to speak with no other than Beatrice! 

Beatrice is the name we called her back in Austria. When I say we, I mean most of us who admired her relentless engagement to promote diversity and fight racism. I am most happy to be introduced to her African name, Ankwetta. Ankwetta spent over 25 years in Europe, paving the way for many African women to have a voice. Her journey to self-discovery has been a tremendous inspiration and healing for those closely following her. 

I remember one day I was attending one of her diversity conferences, watching her stand tall, with her head up high, bravely channelling every relevant topic for impact during the conference. Shortly after, she announced her next phase to move to Africa with a book called “Follow Me To Africa”.

My takeaway from the conversation: Self-discovery

One thing, though, that I still cannot stop reflecting on after our conversation was her insight into finding your purpose or self-discovery. I have spent over 20 years in Europe and know too well that the environment you find yourself in can prime you to become “reactional”. Reactional means that you feel it is your duty to “FIX”, fix a broken system or racism, discrimination, social injustice or what more. But here is the good news, as an African diaspora, it is not your DUTY! Else, you could lose yourself in that fight and make it your identity. 

If you feel called to do this, great, go ahead! But if you feel a misalignment within your soul, STOP and reflect on what you are doing to know if you genuinely and authentically follow your heart’s desire and attain your full potential. Another great news is that you can still care and engage against such social injustice, but now, you do it within the framework of your true calling. There is no need to go outside your path or flow to become who you are not meant to be. 

I heard this from this conversation: Continue to find growth always. Make a bold commitment to yourself to be authentic to your soul, and the universe will be right around the corner to uplift you with fulfilment and peace. Let me know what your takeaway is. Leave a comment below this podcast’s conversation on YouTube. There is so much to discuss with Ankwetta, so we expect her to return soon on our podcast. We sincerely appreciate her presence and conversation. Thank you, Ankwetta!
