The women in the feature are leaders in industries such as government, corporate, media, entertainment and business. "It's so fulfilling to witness women slowing finding their voice, their power and being liberated. I'm truly proud to be part of this powerful era," says Mbombo.

"Moziak magazine believes that as we celebrate the women that are inspiring, we need to consciously make the effort to bring others up," says the Mosaik team. In light of this, the magazine has challenged the 15 women featured in its portrait series to share insights/advice/tips that other women — especially younger girls — can benefit from.

You can follow this conversation for the rest of the month of August using the hashtags #MoziakAfrica and #ToTheGirls. Readers are encouraged to go through the spotlight feature of Moziak magazine's 'Women's Month Portrait Series' and see how women of today are pioneering their various fields and industries:
