A few Months Ago, December 2008 to be precise, Archiwiz left a message on my comment section to get in touch with her over something. The something turned out to be a scholarship nomination from BlogHer for activists outside the United States that are using their blogs to raise money or create awareness on certain issues.
Any nominee who wins the scholarship will receive:
Archiwiz and other bloggers she told ( I am yet to know their names), Rev. Lisa, Grahamn Kracker and Doug nominated me.
They believe in me and what I do. They believed I deserved this scholarship and now I have got it. Chicago here I come in July all because I have a wonderful blogging community that take Standtall seriously.
Thank you all! I promise to always do my best in promoting, advancing, protecting women's human rights and women empowerment.

Congratulations!Happy that you took it seriously. A lot of people would have just thought "ah I wont win anyway" and called it a day.
I often post opportunities to people and later discover they never apply. Its like they feel man know man is necessary in everything.
Once again congrats!
You deserve it truly. You've done a great job and I'm wowed that you took your activism beyond all that you did on campus way back in school.
I'm proud of you Mama T!
Wow! You won? How awesome! I'm sooooo glad I was a part of it!!! You deserve it Standtall! You really do! All the best at the conference...I'm really having fun watching your career unfold. I'm sure we're all going to be even prouder (if thats possible) of you in no distant future.
