Embrace Your God-Given Role, Rev.  Pushi Tells Women and Youth

By Daily News Reporter 

In a modern aspirations often meet at a delicate crossroads, Reverend Dr. Agness Kaposa Pushi is urging Zambians—especially women and young people—not to choose between the two, but to embrace both with purpose.

Her message is not delivered from a place of abstraction, but from deep conviction: that within every woman and every young person lies a God-given role waiting to be fulfilled.

Standing at the intersection of faith, culture, and leadership, Reverend Dr. Pushi speaks with clarity about the enduring influence of women in society. She describes them as “keepers and tutors”—a phrase that evokes images of mothers, grandmothers, and mentors shaping lives far beyond the walls of their homes.

In many Zambian communities, the role of a woman extends beyond caregiving. She is the first teacher, the custodian of values, and often the quiet architect of character. It is this responsibility that Reverend Dr. Pushi believes must not be lost in a rapidly changing world.

“A mother is a child’s first teacher of tradition and respect,” she emphasizes, calling on older women to intentionally pass down moral values, faith, and life skills to the younger generation.

Yet her message does not end in the home—it expands outward.

At a time when conversations around gender equality and youth participation are gaining momentum, Reverend Dr. Pushi is clear: women and young people must not remain on the sidelines. Whether in governance, civil society, business, or public service, their presence is not optional—it is necessary.

“Your voices are needed,” she says, in what feels less like encouragement and more like a call to action.

For women in ministry, her words carry a special weight. She reminds them that their calling is valid and vital, urging them to step forward and serve faithfully, even in spaces that have traditionally been male-dominated.

But perhaps the most striking part of her message is directed at Zambia’s youth.

She refers to them as “potential Zambians”—a phrase that captures both promise and responsibility. In her view, young people are not just the leaders of tomorrow; they are already shaping the Zambia of today through their choices, values, and ambitions.

Her advice is simple but profound: pursue education, uphold integrity, and recognize the power within.

In a nation rich with cultural heritage, Reverend Dr. Pushi also raises a gentle but firm warning—modernity must not come at the expense of identity. She calls on women to preserve and pass on Zambia’s customs and traditions, ensuring that future generations remain rooted even as they reach for new horizons.

Ultimately, her message is one of unity.

Unity between generations.

Unity between faith and action.

Unity between tradition and progress.

As she closes her remarks with a blessing over the nation, one thing becomes clear: Reverend Dr. Agness Kaposa Pushi is not just speaking to women and youth—she is shaping a vision of Zambia where leadership is inclusive, values are preserved, and every individual understands their role in building the future.
