This year’s summit marks the event’s reincarnation as an unforgettable one-day affair, following two years of being held virtually due to the pandemic.
Singhita is one of the youngest women to speak at the event, which hosts a gathering of influential female leaders from various fields such as business, politics, art, sports, civil society, and life.
As Singhita prepares to take the stage, she admits to feeling nervous yet excited.
“I am extremely nervous but excited at the same time. I am a very shy person, but I know that my story matters. I recognise the importance of sharing my story and hopefully making a difference in the lives of other young women out there. I am extremely honoured to have been given this opportunity and I’m ready to grab the bull by its horns.”
The Forbes Woman Africa Leading Women Summit aims to celebrate the accomplishments of female leaders and their resilience in the face of challenges. As Singhita takes to the podium alongside other iconic women currently leading and shaping Africa, her story will undoubtedly add to the richness and diversity of the event.
As Singhita says:
“Work hard in silence and let your success be the noise.”
