About the Poem

Inspired by the powerful spirit of the Nalafem Summit, this poem is a rallying cry for women’s leadership, resilience, and collective action across Africa. It celebrates the strength, solidarity, and unwavering vision of women determined to lead change.

Women’s Right To Lead! ✊🏾


In the heart of Nalafem, where futures take flight,
Women unite, empowered by the light,
From every corner of Africa’s wide span,
We rise together, with a bold, unwavering plan.

Through advocacy, our voices break the chains,
Across this continent, where resilience remains,
For every woman who dares to lead,
We stand as one, fulfilling the need.

Innovation and partnership light our way,
Transforming lives, forging a brighter day,
With solidarity, our vision is clear,
Women’s right to lead, we hold dear.

In this grand summit, our purpose decreed,
To embolden, foster, and help all succeed,
For a world where every woman can lead,
We rise together, fulfilling the creed.
