Join us LIVE this Thursday, July 28th, 2022 at 1 PM EDT/ 7PM SAST as we spotlight another YGS Ambassador in our ongoing Transformation Talks series, hosted by Cornell University Student Jahnay Go and moderated by Liz Ngonzi.

This week we are showcasing Sam Gqomo, Director of Womandla Global Network, founder of the Womandla Foundation and co-founder of Grow My Business Africa. Sam is an increasingly influential leader in the Women’s Empowerment space. Her responsibilities include building and maintaining stakeholder relations and implementing brand awareness campaigns.

In 2019, Sam was named a Cape Town Hero by the Cape Town Local Government in recognition of her activities in furtherance of UN Sustainable Development Goal 5 (gender equality and women’s empowerment). She has also been invited to the United Nations ESCAP and World Youth Forum in Egypt; she participated in the first US Embassy Academy of Women Entrepreneurs in South Africa; and she was listed as one of Glamour South Africa’s top women in 2020.
