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

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

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

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

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

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

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

How to form/join an UDADA circle?<br />
An Udada Circle could be near your area of residence,<br />
your workplace or even church, depending on what is<br />
convenient for you.<br />
Option 1<br />
You can register your already existing group of friends<br />
or ‘chama’ to be an UDADA circle. Registration can be<br />
done on our website http://www.udadaglobal.org/<br />
Option 2<br />
You could also join an already existing UDADA circle by<br />
registering to be placed into one that is closest to you<br />
on our website http://www.udadaglobal.org/<br />
Option 3<br />
You can start a new circle at your workplace or with<br />
other dadas you didn’t know before. You just need to<br />
identify a venue, offer to convene the first 3 meetings,<br />
then we will direct other dadas towards you.<br />
These first meetings can even be held at a restaurant<br />
of your choice. E.g Java or Growers etc.<br />
