A New African Woman is
beautiful, smart, powerful,
well travelled, a leader,
sister, daughter, mother,
who won’t allow the new
world that she lives in
conflict with her roots. She
is inspirational to many,
and everything she does,
she does it so well, with
style and so much grace.

I think the New African Woman is
career-minded, as well as family oriented.
I believe gone are the days when women
where taught that they belonged in the
kitchen, or told that if they had a life
outside the home, they were “wayward
or uncontrollable”. However, I believe
the New African Woman is a woman
who respects her man and knows that
the man is the head of the family, but
does not lose herself in that either, but
commands and demands respect in her
own way. She is able to do and keep her
job, to contribute to the family income.
In these days, families need more than
one income, now don’t we? A New
African Woman should always hold her
head high and make her children proud.
By combining all these values, the New
African Woman is stronger and more
successful building on the strength of the
older generation.

To me the New African
Woman is educated
and strives for a better
future. So every New
African Woman should
be an educated
woman.
A woman
who believes
in herself, is
confident,
has strong
values, and
is passionate
about what
she is trying
to advocate,
she fights to
be heard and
will be heard.
