She expressed her delight over the success and impact of WISCAR’s activities over the years. While delivering her Keynote address, renowned author, Ms Chimamanda Ngozi Adiche, joined others to call for the inclusion of women in the scheme of things, noting that their contributions would also be helpful in the success of the country and organisations.

On her decision to lend her voice at the WISCAR Conference, she said “the WISCAR woman is a solid person.

There is something special about receiving this award and recognition at home and by professional women.

This award and the entire evening felt so genuine, and I was moved and grateful to be so celebrated.”

The night was a fusion of music, spoken word and impact and action-based conversations. It provided the opportunity for professional women to interact, discuss, and build relationships to create new paths that will enable people to demand fairness, equity, and inclusion of all citizens to move our nation forward.
