A Victim Rejects Victimhood - An African Perspective

It's hard to find a bigger victim than Rejoice Tapon. She: - Grew up without electricity and plumbing. - Had a mother who beat her every day. - Narrowly escaped female genital mutilation. - Was to be executed for being an Islamic Apostate at 12 years old. - Escaped execution and child marriage at 13 years old by running away ALONE to another country. - Was an orphan at 14 years old. - Lived with a Boko Haram suicide bomber. - Became a refugee as a teenager, thanks to Boko Haram. - Had cops hounding her. - Never graduated high school. - Wasn't taught how to multiply or divide. - Was sexually harassed by two of her Reverand Fathers. - And more. Think about those things when you watch this video. It may help you to understand where she's coming from and what she's trying to say. Rejoice does not let the victimhood narrative rule her. Rejoice rejects saying that negative experiences or an unprivileged background are an excuse for underperforming today. It's important to know one's history, but it's more important to move beyond it and create a new history. Her advice is for EVERYONE. Be grateful for what you have and make the most of it. One of my favorite examples (besides my wife) of someone who could easily claim to be a victim is Nick Vujicic, who was born without arms and legs. Yet, he has overcome much and inspired armies. /results?search_query=Nick+Vujicic&page=&utm_source=opensearch Share this video if you think it will help shake someone who is stuck in a rut.
