ABOUT
Hadithi Media will be commemorating International Women’s Day as local organisers of a global signature initiative, a Vital Voices Global Mentoring Walk. This initiative comprises 132 Walks taking place in 61 Countries around the world. 4 of these walks will be taking place in South Africa in Pretoria, Johannesburg, Cape Town and Durban. Each walk around the world is themed to reflect the intention and outcomes of the specific walk. Our intention is to create an accessible platform for dialogue between mentor and mentee, while creating visibility around women leadership and mentorship. Our Mentoring Walk Theme is: Her Story, Your Story, Shared Stories. Hadithi Media is the organiser of the Pretoria Mentorship Walk.
The Global Mentoring Walk is an opportunity to highlight the importance of women’s leadership, and to accelerate the impact of women leaders through mentoring. Organised by outstanding local leaders who are key members of the Vital Voices Global Leadership Network, the annual Mentoring Walk brings together established women leaders and emerging women leaders to walk together in their community. As they walk, they discuss their professional challenges and successes and establish a mentoring relationship in which the seasoned leader guides, advises and support her peer. The benefits of women’s mentorship are numerous. It establishes camaraderie, creates gender-friendly environments, promotes a stronger environment for women’s success, and expands horizons for further personal growth as women explore innovative leadership strategies.
Vital Voices is the leading non-governmental organization (NGO) that identifies, trains and empowers emerging women leaders and social entrepreneurs around the globe, enabling them to create a better world. Vital Voices believes that mentoring is a critical activity in empowering women to succeed as leaders and creating opportunities for women on a local scale.
Hadithi Media’s every day commitment is to amplify Women's Voice. We seek and create platforms that amplify the contributions of African Women through storytelling. We are a boutique strategic storytelling consultancy providing publishing, public speaking development for African women (official organisers for TEDxLytteltonWomen), and strategic film production with clients in East, West and Southern Africa.
As a 100% Black Woman Owned and Managed Company operating in East, West and Southern Africa, we lament the existing narrative of women in leadership in Africa. We emphasise a need to engage in dialogues that explore, debunk, and progress this narrative. We underscore the need to accelerate the impact of women leaders using mentoring as one key avenue for constructive dialogue that drives development.
Join us on the 11th of March 2017, as we walk, share stories and change history.
