Honoured to have been able to moderate this space on African women leadership. Humbled by the women who openly shared their stories today on the injustices faced in the workplace and society as African women. Brilliant end to day 1 of #WLHGC2024 . Asante.
As 2023 draws to a close, I am overwhelmed with gratitude for the incredible support I've received throughout this year. To each person who has been a pillar of strength, whether through loud cheers or quiet encouragement, thank you for being a blessing . Akhona Tshangela
What an emotionally resonant, candid, and welcoming panel and audience as we share our personal journeys which have been a blend of triumphs and obstacles, with each hurdle serving as a springboard for growth.
