Why Whisper When You Can Roar? Raising Women’s April Issue Is a Masterclass in Bold Living
As the final pages of April flutter shut, Raising Women Magazine leaves behind more than a month; it leaves a manifesto. This April issue embodies audacity. With a cover that practically dares you to dream louder, this edition is a love letter to women who rewrite rules without permission.
Christiana Figueres, the Costa Rican diplomat who turned diplomacy into disruption with a smile. Known for her pivotal role in brokering the Paris Climate Agreement, Figueres proves that grace and grit are not mutually exclusive. Her mantra: “Scarves are the new power suits”, a cheeky yet potent reminder that femininity is not a liability; it’s leverage.
Meanwhile, our ‘Men’s Corner’ dismantles the myth that eco- consciousness emasculates, reminding men that “the climate crisis won’t be solved by flexing SUVs, but by flexing integrity.”

Raising Women doesn’t stop at the podiums of international climate talks. It gets personal. This issue dives deep into the intersection of self-worth and self-expression with a raw, anonymous Journal Confession: “I’ve spent a decade being the second-best version of myself.” because haven’t we all dimmed our light to fit someone elses socket? The piece resonates like a quiet sob in a crowded room, a truth many women carry but rarely confess.
Then there’s Sola Adesakin, a financial powerhouse reminding us that building wealth is more than a strategy, it’s a divine responsibility. In a world that too often romanticizes struggle, Adesakin’s message is revolutionary: Prosperity is not shameful when it is purposeful.
The magazine features Black women reclaiming SPF. It’s a radiant call-out to the beauty industry: No more ashy compromises. Inclusivity isn’t a trend, it’s a requirement. So here’s your May manifesto: Take up space, demand sunscreen that doesn’t ghost you.
In essence, Raising Women Magazine’s Issue 017 dares every woman to look at her reflection and not just see power, but own it.
