Last month ( August) was Women’s Month in South Africa, we asked her what it meant to her and what advice she would give to young girls. The following were her responses.
What does Women’s Month mean to you?
Women’s Month holds great meaning for me. It serves as a crucial opportunity to spotlight and celebrate the countless women who often go unnoticed despite their incredible contributions. While I believe that recognition should not be limited to just one month, I acknowledge that Women’s Month provides a valuable platform for bringing attention to those whose achievements might otherwise be overlooked. It’s a chance to honour both the women who have made groundbreaking strides and those whose everyday efforts deserve acknowledgment. Women’s month is about creating opportunities for women to shine and ensuring their voices and accomplishments are celebrated.
What advice would you give girls in high school about freelancing, business / entrepreneurship?
As cliché as it might sound, Nike said it best: Just Do It. That dream did not randomly appear in your heart; it was meant for you and there is a purpose behind it. While waiting for the perfect moment or opportunity can be tempting, perfect timing often doesn’t arrive. Instead, have faith and take the leap. The journey itself is where growth and discovery happen, not at some final destination. Just embrace the process, give it your all, and be open to learning new things along the way.
