Happy International Women’s Day

Our AMOS Bursary Sister Circle began in 2021 with the first female cohort. We are privileged to be a part of an inspirational network of black women from the AMOS Bursary staff, associates, committee members, supporters and donors whose aim is to build us up to be the leaders of tomorrow.

As young black women, this incredible support system helps address and challenge all and any limiting beliefs and strives to empower us to be the best that we can be. Some of our discussions have included issues such as:

  • The importance of female friendships and how to cultivate them
  • Being confident in our abilities and building our self-esteem
  • How to speak our minds and stay firm in our convictions
  • Confident and success in male-dominated environments
  • Maintaining our mental wellbeing
  • The fight against over-sexualisation
  • Helping people see that we can be both energetic and smart
  • How to deal with the barriers we face in society
  • Demystifying university life
  • Recognising the gaslighting of career vs. children
  • Debunking the stereotypes attached to women in the workplace
  • Articulating what it means to be a young black woman in today’s society and how that affects our life choices
  • Getting us excited about what lies ahead in the future

This International Women’s day for us is dedicated to celebrating the empowering exchange of ideas, encouragement, and motivation within our sisterhood.

The AMOS Sister Circle, we will #BreakTheBias
