Our ‘Woman of the Year’ represents not only her trailblazing efforts but more importantly, embodies the hopes and achievements of millions of extraordinary women who make a difference every day across our nations and continent.
As is befitting, she is on the cover of the magazine’s year-closing edition reveling in her Nubian beauty with a subtle glam makeup and rich coily hairstyle.
