A Woman’s Seat is at the Table: Women in Leadership, Running for Office, and Faith in Politics

A Woman’s Seat is at the Table: Women in Leadership, Running for Office, and Faith in Politics

Politics in Africa and the rest of the world is largely dominated by men. Only a few women have dared to challenge the status quo, much less run for the highest office in the land. Khadijah Okunnu-Lamidi ventured to change this narrative in her homeland Nigeria by throwing her hat into the ring for the 2023 Nigerian presidential elections. It was a bold move which challenged the establishment. But the road is never easy. From navigating deeply entrenched beliefs to confronting systemic biases, Khadijah’s experience offers a window into the reality of being a woman in politics. Through her journey, we'll explore her motivations, her blueprint for governance, and the lessons she has learned along the way.

Whether you’re in a season of waiting, healing, or growth, this conversation will inspire you to turn inward and upward, rediscovering the beauty of speaking directly to your Lord.
