“Behind every successful woman is a tribe of other
successful women who have her back “
I am bursting with excitement,
knowledge, experience, wisdom and gratitude. I believe with all my heart that
my purpose in this life is to give back, share some of this knowledge, help to
lead black women and girls towards a successful path, give more, expect less
and love more. So, with this heart full of gold, I will now proceed towards
fulfilling my purpose.
My name is Natasha Arokium, an
Empowered, Strong and Fearless black sister. I spent most of my years working
on being financially independent, productive, confident and successful. To date
I have achieved among other achievements an associate degree in Computer
Science, a bachelor’s degree in applied mathematics, and about to wrap up my
master’s degree in data science and Engineering. I am a very disciplined and
determined person, that coupled with loads of patience, my strong faith in God,
totally optimistic attitude, and contentment has brought me this far. I speak
Spanish, play the piano, am a trained photographer (black a white), and love
makeups and fashion (as vain as vain could be).
I’m not sure where I’ll be in five years,
but I know by the grace of God, I’ll be just where I want to be. I recently
found out via my DNA results that I am 19% Nigerian ,
combined with 13 additional ethnicities (Indian, European, Portuguese,
Amerindian). I will be on a quest to visit and learn all about my roots and
culture soon. I can sure use some tips from my sisters in the group who
frequently travel the world.
Learning to swim has been a challenge
for me, also I need to take a toastmaster’s class on Public speaking (I suck).
Give me a bouquet of flowers, and I
would be the happiest woman on earth.
