I spent yesterday evening in the House of Commons, Parliament for the Great Debate Finale. What a fantastic experience!
It was humbling and inspiring to be in a room of leaders and FUTURE leaders. Inspired to do more, Inspired to be more and Inspired to inspire. The dichotomy of success within the Black community in particular is disappearing. Despite the media constantly refusing to vocalise and promote the achievements of young people, everyday I see our drive, determination and passion to break away from the negative stereotypes.
The constants that are in my life are God and the inevitability of CHANGE. Things, life, people, situations are always changing hence why we need to learn to adapt, but more importantly we need to learn to actively CHANGE the things we are not happy about. That is what I really took home from the event at the Commons, regardless of what we think about Politics we need to be become more politically aware, because CHANGE for a Nation lies within those buildings and with those leaders.
Having said that, we cannot put all our hopes and trust in Politicians and their respective manifestos because they are fallible. What we can do is strive to become FUTURE LEADERS that will champion the views and ideas of the socially neglected.
A few wise words from Reverend Rose the Commons Chaplin,
No limitations rule my effort,
I will excel, I will achieve,
I must not settle for less,
I have the potential for greatness
So, do not allow others to set standards for you, rather set the standards for yourselves.
No limitations, keep striving. We can all do this with masses of work and God (Faith & Works – James 2:17)
God bless you!

Kanayo is a Multi-award winning, Author and Senior leader in education whose experience ranges from being a Deputy Head of Sixth Form, Head of Psychology and Lead Practitioner. Kanayo believes that these 3 elements are the driving force of her ministry and career. D.I.G; Drive, Integrity and Grace.
Having a psychology degree provides me with a broad scope to experience many industries and fields of work. Although, my main aim is to continuously learn and also to share my knowledge and experience with others, within and beyond the constraints of the psychology community. Hence my pursuit to teach!
Hopefully, the readers of this blog will find that it is infested with a scope of psychological knowledge, with the intention of conveying psychology in such a way that it is interesting and understandable to those who aren’t studying it as a discipline. In addition, you will find that I heavily cover various topics aside of psychology such as, Christianity because I am a Christian. I draw both passions together, Psychology and Christianity, observing how they complement and sometimes clash! This blog is where ‘Psychology meets Scripture’.
As well as teaching Psychology, I know God has called me to do something far greater in this world. My passion is for His Word and to encourage others to read the Bible, fall in love with it, but most importantly…fall in love with The Author! My role of teaching is not limited to psychology. I strongly believe God is stirring up the ‘teacher’ office of the Five fold ministry in me.
I’m a doctor by virtue, healing and performing heart surgery with words of encouragement.
I am extremely driven and passionate about getting everyone; both Christians and non-Christians to read, understand and live out the word of God. To achieve this, I’ve created online Bible Challenges, whereby people around the world via social media, read a book in the Bible, one chapter a day and share what they have drawn out from the text. I have numerous Bible challenges, all accessible from my blog (www.doctorkanayo.com) and the YouVersion Bible App where over 250,000 people have completed my devotionals around the world. One Bible Challenge at a time, I aim to change the skewed perceptions of the Bible being irrelevant and to show the true reality that the bible is ‘juicy’, tremendously relevant, fun and easy to read. My one prayer is that my teachings and writings from His word, will touch at least ONE person. That would be a serious mission accomplished to the glory of God!
