Insights from the second cohort of African Young Women Leaders (AfYWL) fellows during a leadership training that took place in Kigali, Rwanda, from 17 to 21 October 2022.
A leader is visionary, selfless and committed to transformation. She is compassionate, resilient, and proud to be a nurturer. A leader is driven by a purpose that is bigger than herself; and this gives her the courage to wake up and navigate the challenges of each day.
A leader invests her time in getting to understand those around her. She makes sure that her voice is heard – even if, on the inside, she feels unsure of herself. A leader also knows that leadership is a decision: something that can and should be learnt, grown and consistently practiced.
These are some of the insights learnt and expressed by the second cohort of African Young Women Leaders (AfYWL) fellows during a leadership training that took place in Kigali, Rwanda, from 17 to 21 October 2022. The timing of the training was opportune, as it allowed the 38 fellows to reflect on the first six months of their fellowship, and plan for the second half, and beyond.
