British-Ghanaian TV personality and actress,Peace Hyde is one damsel who has proven continuously that you can be beautiful, brainy and enterprising.
Hyde who spent her early life in the UK before moving to making a mark in the African media space, has become an Inspiration to young women in Africa. Unknown to many, there was a time when Hyde didn’t believe in her abilities.
According to her:”I believe the biggest challenge is overcoming my negative mindset. You will always have challenges in whatever field you are in and that is to be expected. But those challenges can be overcome. The difficulty is in overcoming your own fears and doubts and that lies in adopting the right mindset. For the longest time I was consumed with what people would think of me and that dictated a lot of the things I did until I decided to change my mindset. That was my biggest challenge and that is what I tell people when they ask me about my journey. You can overcome every obstacle that comes in your way provided you adopt the right mind set and that has been the biggest challenge I had to overcome”.
On how she conquered her low self-esteem, she said: “When I was younger I had weight issues and I struggled with that a bit but as I grew, I learnt very quickly how important it is to love yourself and accept who God has created me to be. We all go through down times as women and that can be as a result of several factors including physical, psychological or something else. The most important thing is learning how to live with whatever flaws you have and that usually starts with understanding that you are created to be the best version of you and there are no mistakes. Everything we go through is simply a journey to prepare us for what God has in store”.
