I vividly remember sitting in my hotel room a year ago, this time in Dubai, at the end of 2011. I wrote a paper titled “Thank God for 2011” that I shared with my family and friends. It was my reflection on how eventful and fruitful the previous year was, and how I hoped for an even greater 2012.

They say be careful what you wish for. Little did I know my prayers for a greater 2012 would be answered with such thunder!

At the crux of 2013, I’ve had another opportunity to reflect. But this time, not just to family and friends but for working women all over the world! I hope to inspire even a fraction of them to believe, to dream, to keep working harder and most of all, to aspire to thrive in all aspects of their lives.

   Tell me briefly about yourself?

   Well, I went to school almost all over Tanzania since my father used to shift from one place to  another because he was a civil servant. I schooled in Handeni, Lushoto and Morogoro where I finished primary school. Then I went to Kifungilo Girls Secondary School for my O-Level and later on Morogoro at Kilakala Girls a little bit for A-Level and then Shaaban Robert in Dar es Salaam.
