Ms. Simwaka gave a passionate speech aimed at igniting the participants to challenge the stereotypes that we have of women. “A strong woman is not a witch, a driven woman is not a difficult woman, a hardworking woman is not unfriendly…”. She also hailed NBS Bank PLC for its inclusion efforts which she believes go beyond fulfilling corporate social investment quotas.
