About
Background and history
I am Mwajemi, an African Australian woman, helping others find the courage to survive hardships and motivation to achieve their goals, through my story.
Born and raised in Congo (i.e. the Democratic Republic of the Congo), I migrated to Australia in 2005, after fleeing my country due to war, and living in a refugee camp for eight years. As I did not speak English, and was unfamiliar with the Australian / Western system and culture, I was not sure how I would fare in life. I had dreams, of course, but I was not sure I would achieve any of them. I had to believe that I am capable and it is possible to achieve anything I want, as long as I work hard.
I have survived a very uncomfortable journey, full of uncertainties and vulnerability, with interesting learnings and experiences. Believing that everyone can achieve dreams, I wanted to share this unique experience and help others transform their beliefs and lives. As the Swahili saying goes, “Polepole Tutafika tu!''; meaning, “Eventually, we will make it”.
During my studies at the University of South Australia, and engaging with many local community groups and individuals, I developed skills and confidence.
I have been invited by many individuals, organisations, schools, community groups throughout Australia, to provide motivational talks; I have been very grateful to receive positive feedback from people who, after attending my sessions, have accepted to challenge themselves and pursue their dreams.
I have been involved in many discussions and projects to provide cultural consultation and support. Talking to different people and different organisations, I realised how many individuals and families need someone to motivate them to explore and discover their gifts, and then work on their dreams. I realised my personal stories can contribute to the community by reminding people that they are the CEOs of their lives, and they can develop themselves and others only if they believe they can.
The services I offer.
- Individual consultation
- I offer a one on one consultation meeting to individuals who want to develop passion for their life, and the determination to embrace challenges and seek / find opportunities.
- Request a guest speaker
- Request me as a guest speaker at your community groups, staff meetings, information sessions, conferences, or any other function relating to motivation, overcoming personal struggles, learning a new culture, and language (i.e. Swahili).
- Training and workshops
- I have developed workshops and training sessions to support anyone who wants to learn how to self challenge, become successful and transform lives.
- They are designed with insights from my personal experiences, tailored to the individual / group. This will allow participants to develop self confidence and learn to challenge themselves, find opportunities, and transform their lives.
- Language and cross-culture consultant
- I also offer consultation on cultural sensitivity. Having lived in a different country, with a different system, culture, and languages, and having fled my country and lived in a refugee camp for eight years, I help individuals, organisations, and any other bodies enter the world of a “foreigner”, to appreciate cultural sensitivity and understand what is and what is not appropriate.
