Where it all begins
Where did it all begin? Can you remember the day that you woke up and realize that you wanted to be a teacher, a doctor, a lawyer, a dancer or an actrice? Being inspired by the people surrounding you or what you have seen on the TV or heard on the radio. Suddenly there was a fire inside of you and you where determent to be what you desired to be. Is that fire still burning or did it slowly go out during the years because of life and problems. know that it's nerver to late!

For a few days now I have been going to the bookstore 📖📕@ the Bijenkorf, to take a look at the bestelling book of 2018. Becoming. I have been listening to some 🎤🎬interviews from Michelle Obama and I was so impressed by how 💡intelligent but also how down to earth this 💁🏽♀️lady is. If there is something I don’t like, is people thinking they are better than everyone else just because they now have a title behind their name. This Woman spoke with so much wisdom about womanhood, 👨👩👧👦motherhood, education📕📖 identity, work and her life in the White House and life after the White House. If there is something I want and ❤️love to learn is how to become the best 💪🏾💁🏽♀️version of myself. That’s why I am eager to learn, to grow and to leave old and bad habbits ❌behind that don’t serve me. Her voice is the sound of a ordinairy Woman that had to work hard 💪🏾to become the person she is today and the Woman she is still becoming. Absolutely a ❤️must have.
Last week I had the privilege to be a guest in the christian entrepreneurs podcast. The host Annemarie Cross of the show saw one of my Woman of Purpose interviews on Instagram and invited me to be part of the podcast. I am thankful for this opportunity and I really want to encourage you ladies as well to embrace the talents and gifts God has given you and start with what you got, start with where you are right now, start doing what God has called you to do! Don't wait for the perfect moment, the perfect moment is now!

Oke, Oke, To all my beautiful ladies. Some of you were asking me for this. So I finally took the step and created this video message to encourage you ladies with. May It inspire you to be all that God created you to be. You are beautifully and wonderfully made.
Why are you not doing anything more with your show?
Last year I had an amazing opportunity to perform my own production on stage. The production was a poetry and talkshow 2 in 1. In a creative way I wanted to talk about the highs and lows in a women's life and what influences that has on our self esteem. It was a wonderful, blessed show with spoken word, dance, music and art. All of these were in line with The Voice of A Woman. That was also the name of my show. Having the opportunity to bring this to other young ladies and females was a dream come true. We talked about women's issues that we normally don’t talk about in the open. We opened this dialogue with the audience by sharing our own stories through poetry first. We actually showed them our own vulnerability. What opened the door for the audience to share their stories. It was a beautiful and uplifting show. We talked about eating disorders, destructive relationships and the absence of a male rolmodel in the family, we talked about real and fake hair. These topics brought beautiful and inspiring discussions to the table. The discussions we normally don’t talk about.
Well, you probably think what is then the problem?
Well, after performing the show 3 times I wanted to continue, that has always been my dream. It was and it is my desire to bring the message to the young girls and ladies out there. I felt that I was finally being rewarded for all the hard work I did for the show. And for a moment I was. Unfortunately, I was not able to bring my show out there again. People sometimes forget that every project needs money. And so with this project? For my first 3 shows I invested all that I had in my show. Which I don’t regret at all. I absolutely believe in investing. That is one of the reasons I work so hard and travel 4 hours a day to go to my work. Not because I love all the traveling hours daily, but because I’m on a mission with a vision.
Well the thing that annoys me is that I have to explain it over and over again, when people ask me about the show. Have you stopped? Why are you not doing anything? The answer is. No, I have not stopped, and I would love to perform my show in every theatre if I would get the change to bring my show out there once again. But the ugly truth is that even the small theatres ask for big money out here in The Netherlands. I would love to bring the show on stage again, of course. But the prices should be made much more affordable. Especially for individuals or small beginner groups. By asking prices from 1000$ minimum to rent a theatre makes it almost impossible for us smaller groups to share our productions. You would think that the theatres would have an understanding for small groups or beginners. Knowing that the economy has had a big attack on creative entrepreneurs. But they don't. There should be more cooperation between the big arts organizations and the creative entrepreneurs. Either a group or an individual. For example, being an individual artist I am not allowed to ask any subsidy. For that I have to become a foundation or a company first. But what If I want to discover and master the art of entrepreneurship first as a freelancer before I start building up a whole company. Building up a company or foundation brings a big responsibility with it. Not only for yourself, but also for others. And maybe you have not met the right people you want to work with and still have great ideas and projects. Than this system blocks you because you're not registered as a company or foundation. This I think is so irritating about the system.
To all the people out there, it’s not that I don’t want to, I am working and figuring out other ways to find sponsors and to start different crowdfunding campaigns so I can continue the show: The Voice of A Woman. Cause it’s my heart's desire to create productions and go around the globe to build up self esteem of other women who don’t know their uniqueness and gifts. Not because you haven’t seen me out in the field for a while doesn't mean I’m not working on my dreams.
Extra information: There are gonna be more shows in the future, I had 2 great meetings yesterday with new opportunities for the show. Follow me and stay up 2 date :)
