Visibility: The Power, and the Price to Pay
At the end of May, 2025, I was awarded the Most Inspiring Female Corporate Leader in Malawi. A huge honor. As I received the award, what I felt most was less pride, and more reflection. Reflection on what it has taken to become visible in a world that often demands excellence from women but offers very little space for us to shine on our terms.
