….Inspires other women
Nigerian singer Tiwa Savage has made the BBC’s list of 100 inspirational and innovative women for 2017. The theme for this year focuses on attacking some of the biggest problems facing women around the world.
In her reaction to being one of BBC’s 100 Most Inspirational and Innovative Women list, Tiwa said on Instagram: “Don’t let being a woman hinder you, I have and still have to fight to get people to respect and appreciate my work and not limit me because I am female so this really encourages me to keep pushing and breaking boundaries
“It’s true when they say your brightest moments usually come after your darkest times.
“Keep your head up and work hard through it. The same people laughing at you will celebrate you.
“Do not let anything hold you back because you are a mother, wife, young, older or a female.
“You can never leave a footprint that will last if you are always working on tiptoes,” she said further quoting Leymar Gbowee, popular Liberian female activist.
The inspirational women who made the list will be part of the 100 Women Challenge- split into four teams- sharing their experiences and creating innovative ways to tackle topical issues such as: The glass ceiling, Female illiteracy, Street harassment and Sexism in sport.
The Mavin Records singer recently put out her much-anticipated EP entitled ‘Sugarcane’.
