- Education
Circumstances are temporary, your purpose is not. And though we may all have been dealt with different circumstances in life, our experience as women is universal. We hope to create a safe space for women to be able to divulge their personal stories, share their life lessons, and tell us how they overcame their various obstacles. Our goal is to empower women to fulfill their life purpose by learning from others. Join the movement that celebrates the tenacity of women; healing through storytelling. Hosted by top model, activist, and entrepreneur, Mame Adjei. (Check out our videos on YouTube) Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/victory-over-circumstance/support
