In , stability is not abstract. It is the price of bread, the cost of medicine, a graduate’s chance of work.

Dr has spent her career inside that equation. From the International Monetary Fund and eleven years at the to Egypt’s first woman Minister of Tourism, then international cooperation and planning and now Executive Secretary of the UN’s ESCWA in Beirut.

She doesn’t brand herself as symbolic progress. She presents as professional inevitability.

What would African news look like if women were part of every conversation that affects them?

Not only when a story is about women’s issues, but in reporting on business, politics, science, culture, communities and the decisions shaping everyday life.

That is the question behind ’s partnership with Fence Africa 24 .

Maua documents the lives, perspectives and contributions of African women and women of African descent with depth. Fence Africa 24 brings those voices into a wider pan-African news conversation. Together, we are working to expand both visibility and inclusion: who is covered, who is consulted and whose story becomes part of the public record.

Women are already part of every aspect of ’s story. Our media coverage should reflect that.

Which women’s perspectives are still missing from the news you read?

Not every woman who changes lives will make the headlines. Some build their legacy quietly, in the people they make room for.

In Soweto, Sarah “Ncane” Plank turned Plank Décor and Embroidery into more than a business. It became a place where young people could work, earn, learn new skills and, perhaps most importantly, discover what they were capable of.

She opened her home, recognised gifts in others and created opportunities without needing to take credit for what people later became.

Her story reminds us that mothering a community can take many forms, sometimes it looks like simply seeing potential in someone and giving it room to grow.

Today, her work has evolved in another compelling direction. Twala is turning discarded cans, cardboard and wire into monumental flowers and reclaiming a community's sense of beauty one petal at a time.

Some dreams don't happen overnight. Some take 14 years.

Sue Nyathi wrote The Polygamist after publishers rejected her work. She self-funded the book, rescued unsold copies from being destroyed, endured years of uncertainty and never stopped believing in her story.

Today, that same novel has been adapted into a Netflix series.

Her journey is a reminder that purpose often asks for patience before it rewards persistence.

Read her inspiring story on Maua Bio Magazine.
