A Purposeful Life
Agitu Wodajo
Charting a path of faith, courage, perseverance, and hope, this narrative transcends borders to inspire a global movement for making the world a better place.
ATLANTA, GA, UNITED STATES, January 21, 2025 /EINPresswire / --“A Purposeful Life” is a profound memoir detailing the author's life and extraordinary accomplishments in both Ethiopia and the United States, her commitment to the empowerment of women, traveling the world, and her global impact on women's lives. The NGOs she founded in both Ethiopia and the United States helped underprivileged women through services that build self-sufficiency, and policy-change advocacy that lift barriers.
In Ethiopia, she played an instrumental role in the establishment of the first of its kind ministry of women's affairs in 1991 Minnesota, she participated in the drafting and testified at the Senate hearing of the bill that was enacted in August 2004, exempting foreign-qualified nurses in Minnesota from the CGFNS certification process. She also played a substantial role in the new rule that was officially adopted by the Minnesota Board of Barber and Cosmetologist Examiners on May 15, 2006, exempting hair braiders from state cosmetology licensing requirements.
“In order to achieve my goal in addressing the needs of others, I needed to experience it all in my childhood, marriage, and career. I am certain that it was my unyielding faith, optimism, and compassion that led me through the depths of adversity, inspiring me to rise above my circumstances and empower others” writes Wodajo. The Minnesota Women's Press journalist's opening statement of the article they wrote about her explains Wodajo's dedication to women's empowerment:“Some help others by giving their money. Some give up their time. Agitu Wodajo has given up herself.”
Wodajo pledges to continue the good work until her last breath:“Here I am in Atlanta, Georgia, embarking on the last phase of my life's journey with renewed energy. God, who used seniors like Moses and Joshua, gave me a new assignment in my retirement age-serving Him through a new nonprofit organization that He had me start and writing books. And I am still as strong as when I started this journey, like Joshua said, 'As yet I am as strong this day as on the day that Moses sent me; just as my strength was then, so now is my strength for war, both for going out and for coming in.”
Inspirational and uplifting, Wodajo's story provides proofs for all the wonderful success people can attain towards making a positive difference in the lives of others and the world we live in, when they cherish faith, optimism, courage, and perseverance.
