Attending the Summit in both 2019 and 2020 have been highlights in my university experience and provided me with rich inspiration and learnings from the phenomenal women who attended. It fuelled me with ideas and exposed me to several opportunities. So I really just wanted to say I am sincerely grateful for you to have invited me again in 2020 and more importantly, considered the youth in your decision-making and making it a more inclusive event.

It was such a privilege and honor to speak in the Spotlight segment and share a part of my journey. I’ve not done that before and you showed me how important it is and I thank you Renuka, and appreciate all the advice you gave me in preparing for it.
Thank you for the great opportunity you gave me to be a part of such an empowering and inspiring and successful event. I also want to congratulate you for the amazing platform you have created for all of us. Thanks to you, I am sure now that just like me, there are a lot of African women who are dreaming, fighting and accomplishing great things. I left South Africa with great gratitude for being a part of a life-changing experience that has impacted not only my life but many who were in attendance. My goal now is to chase my dreams even harder so that in the near future, I can go back to that same stage and share my achievements.
