The Woman Who Refused to Quit…

People tend to take the easy way out and instead of looking for how to overcome, they hide behind walls of blames and emotional blackmails, yet something transformative occurs when in the face of hardship and pain, a person continues to persevere and strife to affect the world positively despite any challenge that comes their way.   That’s the story of Harifa Daly an inspiring lady born in the continent of Africa, Malawi who went from a Tomato Seller to a mother, a peer leader for Healthy Food Made Easy, The CEO, Founder and host presenter of Miss D Tv, A Motivational Speaker, A Red Carpet Queen, An Entrepreneur, A mentor, An Idea Developer, and was on the Irish tv show called first-date Ireland.

From an early stage, Harifa knew she always wanted to bring light to her world and to that of others, and despite all the challenges she faced, she still found time to develop herself and uses her platform to share her experiences, talents, and wealth of knowledge to different organizations.

Harifa Daly has interviewed politicians in Ireland and hosted interviews at the presidential award in Mosney Ireland. Some of the organizations which she volunteers are

How was it like Growing up in Africa?

My growing up was very interesting and educative, I was born in a beautiful village, and grew up in a well-cultured home where I learnt that I had to work hard to survive. I had a very great childhood. Then, I would wake up as early as 3 am to fetch water from a long distance after which I would go to the farm and by 10 am I would rush home to prepare breakfast for my family. So my childhood was amazing because my mother was a great woman. I have no regrets. We were comfortable and happy.

* What do you think is responsible for the high rate of divorce in our society?

I believe lack of understanding, patience and stupidity increases the high rate of divorce in our society because if we are patient enough to wait or to be in a relationship with our best friends or to build a strong foundation with whoever we want to marry when misunderstandings come we will be able to seat and tackle the problems, but because we lack patience, stupidity will always creep in thereby making the men act like children and the women to act like I don’t care.

* How do you combine your profession, and media with motherhood?

Simple, I plan my days. I have so much time in my hands because I know how to plan it. I hardly stay on the phone to gossip or stay more than 5minutes with someone who is not contributing to my growth. so most of the time I give myself a lot of time to be in places I wish for.  I work on Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday in 24 hours shifts as a caregiver then I take a break from Wednesday till Saturday where I work on my businesses.

I wake up by 3 am, pray then I take an hour to go through my social media, By 6 am, I wake up to make food for the day after which I take a  shower then start my other business, I go to sleep as early as 7 pm so that I can have good sleep.

* What inspired you to write, the LIFE MENU, a book authored by you which has impacted many lives positively?

Life experiences…  I wanted to share my life experiences, how I overcame challenges, and also let people understand that life has a menu, the same way you make choices when you are in a restaurant is the same way you should make choices from the menu life presents to you…

* Personally, and professionally, are you fulfilled?

To be honest, can anybody have a fulfilled life? I want more, I want to be greater than I was yesterday, I want to unlock new puzzles in my life. So the answer is NO I am not fulfilled yet. Still growing.

* If given the opportunity to be the president of your country, what are the things you would do differently and implement very fast in your country?

Mmmmm a lot, but one thing  I would like to do is life education because normally nobody teaches us much about life in general, it is all about get the degree and get a good job, get married have babies and after that what? what about strength, challenges, fears, freedom, self-worth, protection, forgiveness and love?

Secondly, I will try to end corruption

* How would you describe a complete woman?

A complete woman is a woman who knows her worth Period!!!

* Are you open to marriage if you are not married? And who is your dream man because a lot of great men want a woman like you as a wife.

I am not married, and to be honest, I’m too busy to think of choosing what I want in a man, I have not yet finished finding out what I want within myself so how can I want what I don’t know, or never experienced?  until then let me continue on the path of self-discovery.

Any Regrets?

No regrets but praising God for his mercies upon my life, he has been so kind, I lost my 5 sisters, two brothers, mother, and father. I was alone without a sister so if I say I have any regrets, then it means I am mocking God, I just pray and worship him for his mercies.
