This is my last month at the World Bank but it’s also Women’s Month, an important time to celebrate the impact of accomplished women in Africa who are making a difference and contributing to the countries and region that they serve.
I recently had the honor to sit down with a few of the many remarkable women who have inspired me along the way. I hope their courage, their choices and their dreams for the future of women and girls will inspire you as well. Remember to be bold and put your best foot forward as you embark on your own professional journey!
