Everjoice Win - A Journey of Resilience and Leadership
In this inspiring episode, we sit down with Everjoice
Win, a remarkable leader and advocate for women’s rights, whose journey began in the rural landscapes of Colonial Southern Rhodesia in 1965. Everjoice shares her vivid childhood memories, from her herbalist grandfather’s natural remedies to the magical belief that fish could fall from the sky, a whimsical interpretation of how fish came to wash ashore after the river flooding near her home.
Despite dreaming of careers as a teacher, nurse, or air hostess, Everjoice found herself navigating a vastly different path. After earning her first degree and feeling unfulfilled teaching English and history, she ventured into economics, only to realize her true passion lay in writing and literature. Her life took a pivotal turn when she met Terry, a researcher
who opened her eyes to the struggles faced by black women in urban areas. This experience ignited a passion for activism, driving her to become an interpreter at the Women’s Action Group, where she became the first black woman in the
organization.
Everjoice’s heart-wrenching stories of the women she
encountered, victims of domestic violence and systemic injustice, paint a poignant picture of resilience in the face of adversity. With a deep commitment to empowering women, she spent 30 years championing their rights, participating
in international platforms, and contributing to the launch of the transformative 16 DAYS Program. This initiative has sparked global conversations about violence against women and emphasizes that every small effort can lead to significant change.
Throughout our conversation, Everjoice reflects on the
importance of community, the power of unity, and the impact of kindness. She believes there’s enough room for everyone to thrive, echoing her commitment to inclusivity and collaboration across generations.
Join us as Everjoice Win shares her extraordinary
story of growth, the lessons learned from decades of advocacy, and her unwavering hope for the future. This episode is not just for those passionate about women's rights, but for anyone seeking inspiration to foster change in their communities.
Tune in and discover how even the smallest actions can ripple into monumental transformations, reminding us that together, we are more powerful than we realize.
