Forsaken For a Sake
Forsaken For a Sake Self-Coaching Collection: Overcoming Fatherlessness
About This Campaign
In the beginning...
It all started last year, when preparing for a Father’s Day Mentoring Walk & Talk event in partnership with our company’s key stakeholders. Ahead of the day celebrating Fatherhood, I had decided to share my personal journey of overcoming hidden trauma of growing up with an absentee father at a critical time of my life.
As a countdown to the event held on Sunday 18th June 2023, I journaled 7 specific areas, which I had identified and worked on over the last few years, including some recent events. The focal areas journaled over a period of 7 days included:
⦁ Hidden Trauma
⦁ Healing Journey
⦁ Relationship choices
⦁ Teaching from experience
⦁ Lessons Learnt: Impact on Personal Leadership
After publishing my journey of ups and downs on Social Media in a simple and teachable daily devotional format, I was both touched and amazed by the feedback received by those who quietly followed the countdown posts each day until Father’s Day.
Many people of diverse backgrounds in Africa, Middle East and Europe predominantly wrote to me in private and on my social media comments sections about how my 7-day devotional gave them food for thoughts. It helped them to understand themselves a bit better and deal with unresolved issues related to Fatherlessness or wounds related to Fatherhood and/or lack thereof.
How it went...and Why this campaign
Some suggested directly that I should write a book about my story in a slightly longer format. That would help them beyond the 7-day format, initially published as short posts. As I contemplate the upcoming Father’s Day, I considered acting on my very loyal and trusted audience’s request and give them tools that are more than what was done last year.
To do that, I called upon the assistance of a local publishing company to assist with the book editing and publishing in order to enable people to raise consciousness around this very important societal issue, while providing available solutions to them.
