Karibu UDADA
Welcome to a brand new
UDADA. We are calling it
UDADA REVAMPED!
And our new slogan is:
She Smiles,
I Smile©
The recent events especially in the global and local
political arena, have rekindled and REVAMPED our
determination and focus for UDADA.
I am specifically talking about Hillary Clinton losing
the presidential race in USA and Amina Mohamed
losing the African Union Commission election.
There are many other events in the other spheres of
society; socially, economically and even religiously
that we could site. However these two were a major
blow for us as women. And they only awakened me
to the purpose of the UDADA Global Movement and
why NOW can’t wait....

Remember our purpose
is changing how we see
ourselves as women,
changing how we view
each other as women and
changing how society
views women and girls.
For a movement
to be effective,
it must gain
momentum.
So now is the
time our dear
dadas, to tag
as many
women as
possible into UDADA and make this our new culture.
That is why we have made our gatherings FREE and
hustle Free – no pre-registrations, door payments
etc. So that indeed when she wins we win; and
when she smiles I smile.
So as the Dada at the forefront, allow me to charge
you to reach out to women wherever you interact
with them; in their offices, elevators, chama,
churches, mosques, bridal showers, baby showers,
weddings, matatu, clubs, discos, conferences and
invite them to join this movement.
@NikoUdada,
She Smiles, I Smile.
Let us amplify UDADA in 2017.
Udada Hug,
Laimani

From Our Last Gathering:
UNCOMFORTABLE
Speaker: Laimani Bidali
(An excerpt)
Peace is not the
absence of war
Uncomfortable conversations are
necessary conversations.
They make us uneasy.
This is because they require a
level of risk, vulnerability and
healing…kinda squeezing a boil.
The process is uncomfortable,
painful and ugly stuff comes
out, but the end result is
healing, relief, easiness and
normalcy.

So how do you do it:
Philippians 2:3-4 (AMP)
Do nothing from selfishness
or empty conceit [through factional motives,
or strife], but with [an attitude of] humility [being
neither arrogant nor self-righteous],
regard others as more important than yourselves.
4
Do not merelylook out for your own
personal interests,
but also for the interests of others.
A: affirm the person - you and them
B: bare understanding - this happened…
what happened?
C: confess the impact (for every action there is an
equal and opposite reaction you and the
relationship: feelings yours and theirs -
OWN your message (WHY &what I am saying)
D: dignify the person you and them
E: END: see you next time: or the relationship is over

I Don’t Need Any One To
Sort Out My Life!!!
(Conso Alabastron Season 27)
I learnt about Alabastron through My colleague at the
office but also had seen the program on TV some years
back and I really liked it and wished I was the one up
there. For many years I was battling with, rejection,
unforgiveness and over the years have read many books
I have volumes of them on forgiving and loving again,
healing emotional, damaged heart, your rejection is
showing up and many more but nothing worked, I have
even gone to a counselor but I still go back to the old
self.
Having been rejected by 3 men at the point where the
relationship is grown and almost getting married,
having a mother that I was not getting along for many
years, losing a job and had to discontinue school
because of that and just a few months before I joined
the class, dealing with a divorce it was too much weight
on my shoulders. This made me bitter, angry to self and
others, and I even started drinking alcohol secretly and
dating a non-Christian (yet I was a believer) even before
the divorce was over.

I don’t need other
people’s
affirmation, or
acceptance for me
to be whole.
Learning how to set
boundaries with
myself and others,
and then ACTUALLY
Alabastron has helped me
realize I don’t need any one
to sort my life. I don’t need
to date one man after
another to be
fulfilled as I am whole and
complete as I am.
setting these boundaries was IN-powering! Learning
how to forgive and ACTUALLY forgiving remains one of
my greatest lessons that made a tremendous change in
me For me Alabastron was like a blender; when
blending fruits, the blender will blend everything;
nothing is lost; all the nutrients are captured and the
outcome is so sweet.
Everything was taken care of at once in one package
and the outcome is this renewed Conso. I am even
shocked at myself that am not shouting and yelling at
people! Am not getting really angry with people and I
can forgive easily, and let go of things I could hold on
to so much. I can easily say am sorry and really mean it
from my heart.
Thanks Coach Beatrice and the team. May God bless
you richly and continue to give you the strength and the
grace to deal with other women as well. What you are
doing is amazing and working wonders in the lives of
women and by extension their families.
No amount of words can explain.

An UDADA circle is a small
group comprising of 3-12 women
who meet up at least once a month
to discuss more intimately the lessons
learned from the UDADA gatherings and apply these
lessons while keeping each other accountable for
their growth and progress.
Why an UDADA circle?
What is an UDADA circle?
The UDADA gatherings happen for only one evening in a
month. This is such a limited time for one to de-brief and
process all that has been discussed in that one evening.
For this reason the circles then offer a platform for us
as women to process all that we are learning in these
gatherings by meeting and sharing our views,
experiences and resolutions as well as celebrating out
results.
Through this sharing we are able to get to know each
other and be known, hold each other accountable and
build strong lasting friendships as sisters all of which
pushes this movement forward. UDADA seizes to
become just a gathering of women and girls, but rather
a lifestyle and a culture.
