Empowering women, ensuring their voices are heard, connecting them to opportunities, paying them what they are worth, and so on. To be honest, women are killing it. So they deserve all of the flowers.

Our cover personality Ola Williams is a mentor who has kicked down ceilings to get where she is today. It’s a story about vision, laser focus, intentionality and balance. You should get to know her and see what she’s doing to help get more women in tech.

Another close to my heart is financial inclusion for African women, so I spoke with Solape Akinpelu, CEO and co-founder of HerVest, a fintech company with over 40,000 members that provides inclusive finance to African women through goaloriented savings, impact investing, and credit options for smallholder women farmers and women-led SMEs.

This edition also includes some selfreflection as we try to unpack grief, which I can relate to as I was recently bereaved. It was put together while I was unpacking my grief over the loss of a loved one with Danielle, who had also lost a loved one years before. If this is you, check on it with an open mind.

This edition includes our usual bits, as well as life and times, fashion, wellness, and decor. Danielle swears by an indulgent recipe on Scrumptious, and it's definitely worth a try.

This edition, as usual, was curated with you in mind. Read, enjoy, and share.

See you in the next one
