Kephra: Becoming Rites of Passage for Women

  • “What an honor and privilege it is to be a part of Kephra, it is a great experience. Each week I’m in anticipation of being in the safe environment of women (attending Kephra) . . . Thank you for who you are and what you do.”
  • “[Regarding African Bermudian history] It was amazing to realize how much we didn’t know. I have purposed to read more about it. This will enable me to pass it on to my son, which is so important. …This course has added to my confidence and worth… ”
  • “[Kephra] was useful because it allowed me to share and think about many issues that are prevalent in my life. I learned so many things about my own country and also about other black history. …[Mwalimu] was very effective in her delivery. She exuded wisdom, humbleness, a love of God and love for us.”
  • “Kephra forced me to begin to make a commitment to myself, something I’ve been avoiding and allowing the ‘stuff’ of my life to crowd out. The call to introspection, the challenge to vision, and the encouragement to plan for the future [was most beneficial]. The presenter was inviting and inspiring, personable and personal.”
  • “Mwalimu is excellent, knowledgeable, approachable, caring, sympathetic, ‘real’, funny.”
