By Abigael Mutheu, a student at She’s the First’s partner Savana Kitui

I am powerful, so powerful indeed

I can make choices in my own

I am powerful, so powerful indeed

I can chose what is right and 

wrong I am so powerful

I say No to early marriages,

I am powerful, so powerful indeed

I am powerful because I am made

fearfully and wonderfully made

I can say no to female genital

Mutilation (FGM)

I am powerful, so powerful indeed

Nobody should make choices

for me.

I am powerful, I can make my choices

alone 

I am powerful, so powerful indeed

Abigael and Mary Mutheu are girls in She’s the First’s partner program Savana Kitui in Kenya. Abby wrote the poem above as a Girl Gazette advocacy activity, and the two of them made this activism poster together.
