Meet Harifa Daly The Lady Who Went From A Tomato Seller To A Motivational Speaker Tv Host
Growing up in the little village called Nalingula in Malawi, southeastern Africa, in the middle of nowhere and in a place without electricity, television, just streams and farms, Harifa Daly started life with a humble background. She woke up to the footsteps of market women which became her morning motivation and listening to the first sweet melody of hens in the morning reminded Harifa to wake up with inspiration to do something in life.
Harifa Daly, born to do more, to do great, and be different, admired news catalogs that she collected from the market when the sellers wrapped the goods that she bought.
‘I told myself I want to be that woman that looks beautiful in the catalog’, she recalls.
Through Harifa’s second year in school, she was expelled due to minor mistakes. Harifa Daly traveled on the bus to South Africa alone at the age of 16 to search for her destiny but by 17, she had a child.
“Life wasn’t easy I was abused and humiliated but I swallowed my pride with my one month child selling tomatoes in the street which I have raised money to go to Europe”, she says.
Harifa Daly worked hard and made up her mind to do something new in life. In 2014, she studied psychology and it helped her to overcome the pain, fears, and difficulties in life. She discovered that writing and talking through her experience is also a process of healing.
“I took a journey of writing on social media. My write up inspired many, I received a lot of emails from people to tell me how I’m helping them, I also inspire a lot of youth, raising two kids on my own 17 and 14 has been a blessing, I live to be a great example for them, knowing education is the key I love to contributing in community work and also encouraging the youth to focus and do well in life. One of the key I have discovered so far is that if you don’t fight for yourself in life nobody will, you need to dedicate and inspire yourself each day of your life with things you see to be someone. I grew up on my own, I never had any support from any member of my family, I work hard on my own”, Harifa says.
As a woman and a single parent, Harifa encourages everyone out there to stand up and make a choice, stand up and fight for human rights, stand up and make a change. Remember, it all start from individual, the choice, the decisions, and the first step we take.
“A woman is a leader because as a mother you teach a child to do all things so let us all stand up and do it all.
I’m so proud for myself for the work I have been doing, I don’t just do it, but I love doing what I am doing because is what I love doing,” she says.

Everyone faces insecurities and other challenges. Harifa did too but she wanted to redefine it and encourage people to understand their hidden talent.
