The visionary woman is a woman of purpose, a woman<br />

who is leading without limits, and a woman who does not<br />

back down in the face of challenges. She is a risk taker, a<br />

woman who owns her story, knows herself and her worth, and is<br />

unapologetic about reaching for the stars.<br />

For many years, women empowerment has been a recurring<br />

discourse on different platforms. The United Nations, in<br />

particular, has proudly taken a lead role in making sure that<br />

women are empowered and celebrated.<br />

As such, the annual International Women’s Day has now<br />

become a day widely acknowledged by both men and women.<br />

And sometimes, despite, all these beautiful changes, the<br />

definition of a strong leading woman is unclear and even<br />

controversial.<br />

But then comes the visionary woman, who is helping to change<br />

the narrative. The one-sided narrative that has accompanied<br />

women for years has been transformed by the visionary woman<br />

because she is not deterred by limitations.<br />

And just like the International Women’s Day theme for 2019,<br />

she is building smart by building her brand and owning her<br />

story, making sure to pass the baton to the younger generation<br />

through education and other forms of empowerment and also<br />

innovating for change by acknowledging the need for gender<br />

inclusion across board.<br />

In this edition, we have tried to bring together different<br />

visionary women to share their stories and illuminate the<br />

different dynamics they experienced to get to where they are<br />

presently. We hope that their stories guide you to move from<br />

where you are to where you really want to be. We were careful<br />

to pick women across different industries to inspire and to<br />

simply let you know that you can...<br />
