UJackie Faye kudala ekumishini yokubonisa ukuba abantu basetyhini banokwenza nantoni na kanye njengendoda (duh). Kodwa njengentatheli yasemkhosini, uFaye unesabelo sakhe esilungileyo ngamaxesha anzima esebenza kwindawo elawulwa ngamadoda.

"Umsebenzi ngokwawo awuzange ube ngumba," utshilo uFaye Ubume. "Ndiyawuthanda umsebenzi wam, kodwa ndingomnye wabafazi abambalwa abakhethe lo msebenzi ngenxa yokuba ugcinelwe amadoda."

Oku kuqonda kwakhokelela ekubeni uFaye enze uphando olulolwakhe. “Ndifumanise ukuba uninzi lwemimandla elawulwa ngamadoda, kubandakanya itekhnoloji, ishishini, iibhanki, kunye nomkhosi awenzi indima yawo ekufuneni abasetyhini,” utshilo. "Ngokwengxenye, kungenxa yokuba abantu basetyhini ababonwa beyilungele le misebenzi, kodwa kungenxa yokuba abonelanga abasetyhini phaya abakholelwa ukuba bayakwazi ukuphumelela kula mashishini ngenxa yokunqongophala kokumelwa kwabasetyhini." Ngamanye amagama, ngumjikelo ombi-kwaye lowo ukhokelele uFaye ukuba asungule iphulo elibalulekileyo.

Ukufumana injongo yakhe

Ukukhuthaza abafazi abaninzi ukuba basebenze kwiinkalo ezilawulwa ngamadoda, uFaye wagqiba ekubeni enze i-non-profit Can Triple ngokubambisana ne-Service Women's Action Network (SWAN). Ngokuphuhlisa iisemina zamantombazana amabanga aphakamileyo kunye nokubonisa abasetyhini abaye balandela imisebenzi kwiindawo ezilawulwa ngamadoda, umbutho unethemba lokubonisa ukuba abasetyhini bangakwazi ukuphumelela kwezi ndima zembali zilawulwa ngamadoda.

Emva kokwenza ingeniso engenzi nzuzo, uFaye waziva ekhuthazeka ngakumbi kunangaphambili. Ndiyazi ukuba kufuneka ndenze into ebonisa ukuba nam, ndingazibeka phaya, ndityhale imida, ndiphumeze into engacingekiyo, utshilo. Yintoni eyalandelayo?

Isigqibo sokugqiba imidyarho emithandathu ye-Ironman kumazwekazi amathandathu ahlukeneyo kunyaka omnye wekhalenda, yile nto. (Eyeleleneyo: Ndihambe njani ukusuka kuMama oMtsha oOverweight ukuya kwi-Ironwoman)

UFaye wayesazi ukuba uzibekele usukelo olungenakufikeleleka. Ngapha koko, le nto yayingekho mfazi ngonaphakade yenziwe ngaphambili. Kodwa wayezimisele, ke wabeka usukelo lokuqeqesha ubuncinci iiyure ezili-14 ngeveki ngelixa e-Afghanistan-ngaphezulu kokutsiba kwiihelikopta kwiivesti ezinobunzima njengenxalenye yomsebenzi wakhe wokunika ingxelo.

Uqeqesho eAfghanistan

Inxalenye nganye yoqeqesho lukaFaye yeza neyayo imiqobo. Ngenxa yemozulu enzima yase-Afghani kunye nokunqongophala kwendawo kunye neendlela ezikhuselekileyo, kwakungenakwenzeka ukuba uFaye ahambe ngebhayisekile kwindawo evulekileyo- "ngoko, kwinxalenye yebhayisekile, ibhayisekile emileyo yayingumhlobo wam osenyongweni," utshilo. Ubuye wanceda ukuba sele ndifundisa amajoni emkhosini nakubasebenzi beziko lozakuzo, utshilo.

UFaye wayesele eyinxalenye yeqela elibalekayo kwisiseko kwaye waqala ukusebenzisa ezo zibaleka njengendlela yokuqeqesha i-Ironmans ezayo. Wade wafumanisa ukuba abanye abantu base-Afghanistan bangabaleka nabo. "Kwakukhethekile ngokwenene ukuqeqesha kunye naba bafazi baselula, ababini kubo baqeqeshela ugqatso lweekhilomitha ezingama-250 eMongolia," utshilo. (Unomdla wokubhalisela ugqatso, nayo? Yoyisa i-Ironman ngezi ngcebiso zimbaleki ephezulu.)

"Into ephambeneyo kukuba bayayenza ngaphandle kwento yokuba kuyingozi ukubalekela phandle. Ke ukubabukela beza ukuzinza nokuziqeqesha, bazinikele ngako konke, kundenze ndabona ukuba andinasizathu sakufezekisa. Injongo yam. Xa ndithelekisa nabo, yonke into ibisebenza kum. " (Eyeleleneyo: Dibana nabagijimi basetyhini abaSaphula imiqobo eIndiya)

Ukuba uFaye wakha wazifumana ekufutshane nokuncama, wasebenzisa ukomelela kwabafazi base-Afghan njengenkuthazo. "Umfazi wokuqala owakhe wagqiba umdyarho e-Afghanistan wayeku-2015, eyayiyiminyaka emithathu edlulileyo. Kwaye ukwenze oko ngokuziqeqesha ngasemva kwendlu yakhe, esoyika ukuba angabulawa xa ebalekela ngaphandle, utshilo. "Ngamabali afana nala abesebenza njengesikhumbuzo sokuba abasetyhini kufuneka baqhubeke nokuthintela izithintelo ekuhlaleni ukuba bafuna ukubonwa belingana-kwaye oko kundenze ukuba ndenze eyam indima ngokugqibezela umngeni we-Ironman."

Elona candelo lobunzima kuqeqesho uthi, nangona kunjalo, yayi kukuqubha. Ukuqubha yinto nje endingazange ndancoma kuyo, utshilo. "Andizange ndiqalise ngokwenene ukuqubha kude kube ngu-2015 kwaye kwafuneka ndithathe izifundo xa ndiqala ukwenza i-triathlons. Yayingumsebenzi onzima wokwakha unyamezelo lwam ukuphumeza loo nto yokuqubha yeekhilomitha ezi-2.4 ezifunwa yi-Ironman, kodwa ndiyenzile, iimpumlo zeempumlo nazo zonke. "

Ukophula iRekhodi yeHlabathi

Injongo ye-Faye yeenyanga ezili-12 yaqala e-Australia ngoJuni 11, 2017. Emva koko, waya eYurophu, eAsia, eMzantsi Melika, eMzantsi Afrika, walugqiba uhambo lwakhe ebuyela e-U.S.

Uhlanga ngalunye lwalunamandla amakhulu, utshilo. "Bendisazi ukuba xa ndiphumelele kugqatso lwesihlanu, kuya kufuneka ndiqale phantsi kwakhona. Ke ngoko, ngohlanga ngalunye, izibonda beziphezulu." (Kwixesha elizayo xa ufuna ukunikezela, khumbula eli bhinqa lineminyaka engama-75 ubudala elenza i-Ironman.)

Kodwa nge-10 kaJuni ka-2018, uFaye wazifumana ekumgca wokuqala e-Boulder, eColorado, u-Ironman omnye kuphela ukuba aphule irekhodi lehlabathi. "Bendisazi ukuba ndifuna ukwenza into ekhethekileyo kukhuphiswano lokugqibela ndaye ndagqiba kwelokuba ndizakubaleka umgama wokugqibela we-1.68 yeemayile kugqatso lwe-26.2-mile kwivesti enebhulethi enesisindo ukuhlonipha abantu base-US abangama-168 abaphulukene nobomi babo besebenzela ilizwe e-Iraq nase-Afghanistan. "

Ngoku, ngokusesikweni (!) Ukophula irekhodi lehlabathi, uFaye uthi unethemba lokuba ukufezekisa kwakhe kukhuthaza abasetyhini abancinci ukuba bayeke ukuziva ngathi kufuneka badlale "ngemithetho". "Ndicinga ukuba kukho uxinzelelo olukhulu kubafazi abancinci ukuba babe zizinto ezininzi," kodwa uthathe isigqibo malunga nento ofuna ukuyenza kwaye uyenze, uyatsho.

"Ngenxa yokuba akukho mfazi wumbi uyenzayo, akuthethi ukuba awukwazi. Ukuba kukho nayiphi na into oyithathayo kuhambo lwam lobuqu, ndiyathemba ukuba lulo."
