In this issue
This year’s final issue of FORBES WOMAN AFRICA is a page-turner that pays homage to resilient women who continue to triumph against all odds. On the cover, we feature the queen of the 800m track, Caster Semenya, who says her main objective is to empower women. Also in the issue, smallholder farmers hold a different kind of power in the palms of their hands. They use agroecology farming solutions for feeding the future. This edition also dwells on the painful issue of mental health. An app has been developed to act as a medium to help users bypass the stigma associated with seeking help. Also read our take on the movers and shakers of Africa’s arts scene. All this and more regular features in the December 2018-February 2019 issue of FORBES WOMAN AFRICA.
