One of the
activities GPI does is a TV programme called GPI on Air, which is a 30 minute
broadcast about topics relating to the girl child and empowering women. Its
hosted by a presenter and GPI staff and various guests are invited to talk
about different topics. I was nominated to talk about stress management along
with my colleague and neighbour Emmanuel.
We went
along to the studio and saw the first programme being recorded about valentine’s
day which was with two GPI graduates who did so well. Then it was our turn! I
wore one of my Nigerian made dresses and even put a bit of lipstick on! I was a
bit nervous but overall enjoyed the experience. Talked about how some stress is
a good thing, what causes stress, the physiological aspect of stress and how to
manage stress. Despite not being asked many questions Emmanuel and I did well!
The first
broadcast I missed due to being ill (see my malaria post!). But thankfully it
was repeated and I watched the first half of the programme in my house – then
of course nepa failed so I rushed to watch the rest next door with Emmanuel and
his wife! It was so weird seeing myself on screen, I sounded so posh and
British! They also filmed a lot from a side view showing my large nose (thanks
Dad)!! But overall I was happy with my TV debut! Now want to get hold of a copy
of the broadcast so I have it as a memory of my time here with GPI.
