#Know Your Worth




Embrace Your Inner AfroDeity

Hopefully you will have noticed our new blog layout and we do hope you like it, We would love to hear what you think so drop me a line anytime leilu@afrodeity.co.uk. It's a new day at AfroDeity and we are looking forward to showing you what we have to offer, starting with this:

#KnowYourWorth

At AfroDeity we believe in Knowing Your Worth. We never settle for anything less and we don't believe you should either. We are always striving to bring you better information, and we want to help you feel confident enough to get out and live the life you deserve. 

When I started blogging at AfroDeity I had lost all confidence, the promotion I had been working towards had eluded me for three years, and I began to think that I wasn't good enough. I had lost a lot of my hair, my career was going nowhere and I began to feel inferior. This affected my work, my family life and more than anything else my self esteem plummeted. That was some years ago now. But if I have learnt anything from that low point in my life it is that you should always #knowyourworth and you are worth more. A lot more than you realise. Every human being has the capacity to do amazing things, not just the rich ones or the lucky ones, every human being. Our time on this earth is short, don't squander it. Live the life you deserve and don't accept less than that or  let anyone tell you or make you feel that you are less

You are More. So much more!!!

 – Maya Angelou

“You will be wounded many times in your life. You’ll make mistakes. Some people will call them failures but I have learned that failure is really God’s way of saying, “Excuse me, you’re moving in the wrong direction.” It’s just an experience, just an experience.” 
– Oprah Winfrey

“The triumph can’t be had without the struggle.” – Wilma Rudolph

 – Oprah Winfrey

“I have learned over the years that when one’s mind is made up, this diminishes fear; knowing what must be done does away with fear.” – Rosa Parks
