“Leadership for me is having a vision and striving to achieve it. Women need to believe that they can do whatever they set themselves to do, despite the society’s pressure and people telling them otherwise. You can only have the power to be a change maker if you believe in yourself.”

“I told them, if they want business as usual, I’m not the right person for this job.”

“You might not be happy with the decisions that I make in this position.”

“We had to improvise. We literally had to create the word. “Wesibawi tinkosa.””

“"The law must serve the people, not stand above them."”

“"A society that excludes women from leadership is a society that denies itself progress."”

“"When women rise, nations rise with them."”

“"Justice is not a privilege, it is a right that every citizen must enjoy."”
