The Right Fit Academy (TRFMA), a platform that is an outlet for positive narratives about marriage, is rounding off its 5th anniversary with a four-day intensive and impactful social media programmes.
The celebration started on May 1, 2021, when members of the academy started sharing marriage stories on social media.
Speaking with thelaurel.com.ng, TRFMA founder and lead counsellor, Mrs Modupe Ehirim, aka Mummy Mo (who is the host of the virtual celebration) gave a comprehensive description of TRFMA thus: “It is a community of people who believe that marriage can be beautiful. These people are open to learning and ready to change. We believe that marriage education is a life-long matter and one can never know enough about marriage.”
According to her: “In our online community on Facebook, we hold monthly events where we invite speakers to discuss topical marriage issues. Marriage is a private decision between a man and woman but it has a lot of implications for people who are not a party to that decision. The ideal way for one to be prepared for marriage is to grow up in a home where one’s parents had a healthy relationship. That would shape the child to be a better person in society. We expose our members to this reality and it broadens their awareness about marriage and its implication on others.”
With cases of Covid-19 still rampant and social distancing and other health protocols still enforced globally, the 5th anniversary inevitable takes the form of a virtual celebration that allows members of the academy in different places across Nigeria―from Port Harcourt to Abuja to Jalingo―to participate online by sharing their stories on social media from May 1 to 21.
