"I want to bring out the giant in women alongside me; I'm not keeping this to myself.", I said few years ago.

From childhood to my teenage years, I was a girl who was body shamed by her peers, friends, and classmates.

They labelled me as the pretty girl with the hairy legs or the cute girl with the broad shoulders. Isn't it painful? It was, unfortunately.

"Delight! You're too skinny", "Bambola! You're too dark", "Chigozie! You are damn fat," I observed other women getting body shamed as I was.

These statements, and many others, had a significant impact on these ladies' self-esteem. It was tough for them to express themselves. As a result, many have chosen to remain silent.

They were chosen based on minor characteristics such as how they look, how they speak, their disabilities, pains, and figure.

I could feel their pain because I was a victim of this too.

I knew I couldn't fix their problem, but surgery would undoubtedly cure mine.

I recall going home during the holidays ordered by my boarding school (Federal Science and Technical College, Ijebu Imusin), taking my mother's phone behind her back, and starting to look for surgeries that could at least cut down my shoulder, reshape my arm, and stop the hair on my legs from growing.

Until I found an article headlined "Name and picture of celebrities with broad shoulders." I clicked on it this faithful day and saw my favourite actresses from America and India, one of which was Angelina Jolie.

You should see how amazed I was; at least I saw ladies who looked like me, and I discovered there were outfits for each body shape to wear, which explains why they don't appear to have a broad shoulder.

I did research on what clothes I could wear, what accessories would look best on me, and so on.

Guess what?

Knowing what best matched my body type or covered the hair on my legs wasn't the problem; the trouble was that negative comments, criticism, and experiences with the people my parents trusted had knocked my self-esteem down. I assumed it was because of my body shape.

I became someone who struggled to express herself, as if the world was only for those who had the right story, shape, and appearance.

I couldn't face the world, the crowd, or myself.

Do you know a woman who has a big vision but struggles to come out of her shell? This was me. I felt worthless and uncertain, and the worst of all, it came as a hindrance to me fulfilling my purpose, discovering my true self, and becoming the Majestic Vessel God desires me to be.

Not until I had an encounter with the person of Jesus. Believe me, My family goes to church, and the bedrock of our home is Christ, but I didn't seem to have a personal relationship with God; all I had were our constant home devotions, Bible study, and the series of vigils my mother made us do.

As luck would have it, I was preached to by a dear sister, who made me aware of the true gospel of Christ and how my previous shame had been nailed to the cross. Fortunately, I confessed and received Jesus Christ into my life and began the Journey of Faith.

The Journey of Faith can be full of ups and downs combined with pain, but sometimes it can be a journey of pleasure. And it is the Journey you will always thank God for accepting when your intentions begin to yield results.

In my journey with Christ, I was opened to mysteries that made men struggle, my true identity in Christ, and the original plan God has for me.

To the glory of God, the once Timid girl who quivered on the altar with a drenched T-shirt when told to make an announcement in church can now speak with an audience of a thousand and more, obeying each instruction from God and building legacies.

I was helped by God, so I determined within me to help other ladies who have given up their reason for being because of various circumstances such as child assault, sexual abuse, peer pressure, family history, wrong marriage, and the list goes on. Scared of disclosing themselves to the world.

This vision was placed in my heart alongside the Bible text Psalm 1:2–3, which says, "But they delight in the law of the Lord, meditating on it day and night. They are like trees planted along the riverbank, bearing fruit each season. Their leaves never wither, and they prosper in all they do."

This is the promise of God: that women of splendour will be built in this generation—women who find pleasure in him and his words, who seek his counsel at all times, and who, as a result, thrive in the area of influence they've been called into, regardless of their past, flaws, and figures. Women that prosper on all sides without trading things that matter.

Certeza Global Blog is one of the vehicles used to fulfill this vision, which is to offer up-to-date information about various aspects of life to ladies, to help them become thriving ladies across various sectors regardless of their past, flaws, and figure.
