CHANGING THE NARRATIVE OF THE AFRICAN WOMAN IN LEADERSHIP

In addition to child-rearing, assuming high-level positions in religious organizations, and strengthening bonds between communities, a new narrative is being written for the African woman. She is poised to take her rightful place in business, government, and civil society to:

• Influence others’ attitudes and behaviors to achieve a common vision
• Help others to adopt a global perspective or mindset
• Promote intercultural competency and behavioral adaptability
• Develop cultural intelligence, emotional intelligence, and social intelligence

The narrative of the modern African woman, which includes African women in Diaspora, includes leveraging her considerable skills – not only in marketing and in the boardroom – but also to empower others to excel as entrepreneurs for media, fashion, entertainment, sports, dance and other art forms. The African woman is the economic lifeline to her youth and community. Her narrative teaches them to make new opportunities, find self, and become their own ambassadors.
