2015: Healed Heels
For Africa to be great and for its people to thrive and prosper, there is a need to tackle our mindsets and attitudes as the cornerstone of personal transformation. It is for this reason that the Timeless Women Conference was convened as a platform for dialogue between women and men leaders of Africa, and the world from all key sectors to start the journey towards making our dreams for a flourishing Africa a reality.
Our Chief Guest for the 2015 conference was Ethiopia’s first ever female president, Her Excellency Sahle-Work Zewde, who delivered a keynote and shared her sentiments, “It’s very important for a woman to believe there is nothing she cannot do. Africa has really wonderful women to be celebrated. As Africans, we cannot be satisfied with that we have got because we are not there yet. We need more women leaders.“
