Dr. Blessing Timidi Digha is a Black woman who identifies as a Feminist and who is also an Advocate, Storyteller and Community-Based Researcher who brings all of her intersections and ideologies to the work she does on Gender-Based Violence and Sexual Reproductive Health and Rights. Blessing likes to kickstart uncomfortable conversations on issues that concern, affect, and impact girls and women. She is currently pursuing a doctorate degree in social justice education.
In this episode, Blessing discusses the ways people encouraged her to pursue a Masters degree and then a Doctorate, after having first studied engineering in Nigeria because her parents considered it a prestigious profession… her choice to study social justice education as her field of study for advanced degrees that complimented her fieldwork experiences… the level of openness of knowledgeable professors in Canada who value the diverse field experiences of their students… her advice to us all to incorporate what we love into things that we are required to do… the importance of honoring the season we are in and of knowing when it is time to let a season go… and these words of encouragement: “You can evolve at any time. The only constant is you. As long as you want it, go for it!”
