Title: The Beautiful Minds – Transforming Negative Mindsets to beautiful minsets
Session Overview:
In this mind-shifting session, we will explore the concept that our minds are empty slates at birth, shaped by the information we absorb. Drawing from biblical wisdom, “As a man thinketh in his heart, so is he” (Proverbs 23:7), We will discuss how environmental and external factors influence our thought patterns, which affect our outcome and output. We will focus on practical strategies for converting negative mindsets into positive, empowering ones.
Session Objectives:
1. Understand the impact of environmental factors on mindset.
2. Identify negative thought patterns and their effects.
3. Learn effective techniques for transforming negative mindsets.
4. Cultivate a positive, empowering mindset.

I’m Abigail, a young African who is an entrepreneur and advocate for wellness and empowerment, driven by a deep commitment to creating sustainable impact. My journey began with a simple belief: that skincare can be a vessel not only for self-care but also for community transformation. Through my brand, I focus on organic, pure ingredients sourced directly from female farmers—women who are not only providers but also the backbone of their communities. For me, every product represents an opportunity to uplift, empower, and honor the people and values behind it.
My experience spans HR, operations, and the import-export industry, but what truly defines my work is my dedication to people. Outside of my business, I support my family, volunteer at my church, and mentor young women, fostering a spirit of resilience and shared purpose. These roles have helped me shape a vision that goes beyond profit to prioritize community well-being and sustainability.
As I look to the future, I’m eager to deepen this impact, building a brand that doesn’t just stand for wellness but actively contributes to it. I envision a world where business empowers, where wellness is accessible, and where communities thrive together. Each step I take is toward realizing this vision, blending tradition, care, and sustainability in everything I do.

My name is Meraf Samuel, and I am currently a second-year student at Addis Ababa University, pursuing a degree in Social Work. I am deeply passionate about my field of study, as it aligns with my strong desire to help others, advocate for those without a voice, and address critical social issues through education and awareness. I chose to pursue social work because I am committed to promoting positive change and supporting individuals and communities facing various challenges. I firmly believe that our society would greatly benefit from greater access to information, as many of the problems I encounter daily—such as psychological abuse and interpersonal harm—stem from a lack of awareness and understanding. Through my studies and future work, I aim to contribute to the education and empowerment of individuals, fostering a more informed and compassionate society.
One of the prevalent issues I have observed in our society is the deep-rooted colorism, where individuals are often judged and treated differently based on the tone of their skin, with light-skinned individuals frequently receiving more favorable treatment than those with darker skin. This issue is something I encounter on a daily basis and it has sparked in our discussions. These conversations, while important, represent only the beginning of addressing a much larger societal concern. I strongly believe that by continuing to engage in open dialogue about such issues, we can begin to heal and transform the negative perceptions that perpetuate this division. Furthermore, it is essential that we work toward fostering a more inclusive and equitable society by raising awareness, challenging these harmful biases, and promoting positive change. Through collective efforts, we can address not only colorism but also the broader social injustices that hinder the well-being and unity of our community.
