I have always seen myself as an Amazing Woman capable of great achievement but I wasn’t confident in myself. This forum has really broadened my thinking and inspired me to go a step further.

The process of transformation of a situation is a gradual one. Its starts with one changing themselves.

‘Many young girls lack appropriate, wholesome advice when
growing up. We rarely get a chance to discuss ambition,
sexuality, leadership, self-branding with our mothers. We most
often than not grope in the dark alone and end up making
mistakes that could easily be avoided. Amazing Woman
Dialogue acts as bridge on these social issues. We get
accomplished women to speak and mentor young girls on the
right way to go. In addition to that, we aim to produce a crop of
young women who understand their femininity and role of
women in a community just like the Virtuous Woman of
Proverbs 31.’Minky Wanja, C0- Founder Amazing Woman Dialogues

Empowering a woman means empowering the whole community. At the Amazing Woman Dialogues, we hope to have a generation of women who go for what they want no matter what people say. We hope to engage more women to take up leadership positions and become the change they want to see in the world.
