Ranibelle Sato in this weekly column, Time to Think, handles a variety of social issues – life as a female journalist, staying focused, self-love and one’s dignity, marriage and family life, child upbringing in different contexts and Faith. How these things directly or indirectly affect lives, relationships, and social institutions are some of the issues she handles.
The story of her travelling with little children across several borders under very dangerous and life-threatening conditions are all experiences that to her, count as great tools for reflection and growth. Her experiences managing her M&B hair brand, dealing with clients from countless different countries with different cultures and many more interesting recollections, are some of the stories she would be sharing on this space.
“At times you can only recall how terrific such journeys were when you must have braved the odds. I seriously believe people and especially women and youths need a lot of orientation and mentorship, in a context where moral values seem to be falling apart,” says Ranibelle. Her voice would also be heard on topical and trending societal issues. She believes that people, especially youths have a lot of unidentified potentials which can be harnessed for their own development, those of others and their communities.
