I didn’t die, I’m a testimony for women who refused to be silenced – Charlotte Oduro
Ghanaian counsellor and motivational speaker, Charlotte Oduro, has broken her silence following her divorce from Apostle Solomon Oduro, with a fiery and unapologetic message to critics and women navigating similar paths.
In a video originally shared by Zionfelix and sighted by Dklassgh.com, Charlotte made it clear that she’s not bowing to societal pressures or church expectations that seek to silence or shame her after her split. “I’m a man who will contain who I am, but I still preach. I don’t give a heck whoever is against me. I didn’t die, I’m alive,” she declared boldly.
The outspoken counsellor positioned herself as a voice for women who refuse to let religion or culture kill their spirits.
“I’m a testimony to women who didn’t allow society and church to kill her,” she said. “They may not accept you now, but with time, they will celebrate you.”
Addressing those who whisper and judge from afar, she continued, “You don’t need to explain yourself to anybody. Life is not in the hands of anybody. It’s in the hands of God.”
Charlotte also fired shots at those mocking her while she continues to preach. “If I’m going to preach and I hear women giggling at the back, I will shut you up within a minute.
That is who I am. You won’t distract me.”
With emotion and passion, she empathized with women weighed down by the shame of divorce. “Sister, I see tears in your eyes. You have allowed the voices of men to cripple and get into your heart… All because you are divorced. You divorced a man, not God. So what is wrong with you?”
Reflecting on her own experience, she added, “Do you think I wanted to end my marriage? Who wanted to end? No. But sometimes, it needs to happen. And if it happens, it has happened. Then you go.”
