Unspoken Truths: Goodness Ogunbodede's Story of Resilience and a Call to Action #DigitalSolidarity #TogetherWeRise

This week, we at Unspoken Truths are humbled to share the story of Ogunbodede Goodness , a 19-year-old woman from Owo, Nigeria, who exemplifies resilience in the face of immense adversity. Goodness's journey is a testament to the power of determination and the importance of #DigitalSolidarity in creating a more equitable world.

Growing Up with Limited Opportunities

Goodness's upbringing in Owo, a town with limited resources, presented significant challenges. Financial constraints due to her parents' low income meant her dream of pursuing education seemed out of reach. Yet, Goodness refused to be deterred.

Discovering a Passion for Tech and Writing

Despite the hardships, Goodness discovered her love for writing and technology. She honed her writing skills in school and actively sought opportunities to develop them further. This self-motivated pursuit led her to the Ajasin Foundation Library, a beacon of hope in her community. There, she not only expanded her knowledge but also joined a tech team, igniting a new passion.

Turning Challenges into Stepping Stones

Goodness's unwavering spirit is evident in how she turned setbacks into stepping stones. Unable to afford a laptop, she used her limited smartphone to learn new skills, becoming a proficient SEO expert, content writer, and blogger. Furthermore, she generously shared her knowledge by creating a tech cohort to train others.

A Dream Deferred, Not Denied

While working remotely as a content writer, Goodness faced another hurdle when relocation became a requirement. Refusing to be discouraged, she continued her pursuit of knowledge, securing a scholarship to study Entrepreneur Leadership at the African Leadership University Rwanda. Unfortunately, the scholarship only covered part of the tuition, leaving her with a significant financial gap.
