E032 Mrs Scholastica Kimaryo #WisdomPersonified conversations with Dudu Msomi

Loading player...
Mrs Scholastica Sylvan Kimaryo is the Founder and CEO of Maadili Leadership Development and Lifestyle Coaching and Kilimanjaro Conscious Leadership Academy in Tanzania. She believes that humans are eternal spirit beings having a temporary human experience. However, the fact that our experiences are temporary because it is fact that none of us are coming out of this life alive, we owe it to our lives not to play it safe.
Auntie Schola, as I call her, was a strategist from a young age when she crafted an ingenious plan and enlisted the support of her village Parish priest at the age of 9 to convince her father to allow her to go beyond Grade 4 which was when girl children were deemed ready to get a spouse, have lobola paid for them and to start bearing grandchildren.
The life of Auntie Schola reflects the wisdom of a woman that reads her environment, understands the shackles of patriarchy, and has the courage to push the envelope and give herself permission to pursue her dreams which took her from a peasant farming village in Tanzania to the echelons of the United Nations from where she retired after 30 years.
This conversation inspires us through the wisdom that anything of importance and that is worthwhile happens when we give ourselves permission to do it. With every choice and decision, there are consequences. We need to have the bravery to live with the consequences of our choices, positive or negative.
Enjoy this courageous Wisdom Personified conversation with Auntie Schola. What wealth of wisdom we have on our continent, Africa!
