#Over30Under50 Gone are the days of calling it “a first for women on the continent.” Each year, more women are stepping confidently into leadership — commanding boardrooms, headlining global stages, and taking charge in industries long dominated by men. And rightly so. Just look to the women in their 30s and 40s who have entered their unstoppable era — fearless, focused and unapologetic. They are forging their own paths, dismantling outdated stereotypes and redefining traditional expectations, proving that leadership is not granted — it is claimed. Meet the cohort of 2026⤵️ forbesafrica.pulse.ly/nlhnsg…
