On this International Women’s Day, it gives me great pleasure to shine the light on the women with whom we continue to build this strong network; ALN.
ALN continues to foster a culture where all our people are given the opportunity to contribute fully according to their capabilities and potential. The women in our network have worked tirelessly to take advantage of this consequently forming successful careers for themselves. Working together with them and watching their dedication, commitment and results, has put us in an enviable position of expecting nothing but the best from them and all our people.
I am confident that you will enjoy the useful nuggets of wisdom that many of them will pass on to you in the pages that follow, and trust that we will all learn from their experiences to, together, create a stronger Africa and world.
Please join me in celebrating the women at ALN.
DR. CHEICK MODIBO DIARRAALN Chairman
Chairman’s Note
My journey to my current position has been a series of unexpected twists; and just when I thought things may be falling apart - they were actually falling into place.
“Know where you have come from and believe in where you are going. Always be gracious, grammatically correct and good to those who support you.”
Glenda BensonHead of S.Africa Integration and DevelopmentALN HQ, South Africa
My journey so far has been exciting but not without challenges and obstacles. However, I am a strong believer in finishing what I start and to have this as a mantra requires a lot of determination as it is not always easy.
“Always be yourself, take courage and stand up for what you believe in.“
Christine KamunchuluhHead of OperationsALN HQ, Kenya
The journey to my current position has been one of constant exploration. God has blessed me with situations, opportunities and people that have challenged me to be more and stretch. I’ve gathered a wide range of experiences in my career and am loving the experience of being a wife and mother which stretches me in different ways. I constantly explore my potential and will not be complacent or afraid enough to gather moss. Never!
“Stretch. Reach. Do something scary every day. God will either lift or catch you.”
Wanjiru Mutung’u KariukiHead of Business DevelopmentALN HQ, Kenya
“Take pride in being a woman. Don’t let work or the world make you hard. After all it’s the intuition and the sixth sense that make us women which are the tricks of the trade!”
My journey to my current position has been a mixed bag of rewarding moments and challenging moments alike – but in hindsight, I wouldn’t have had it any other way. I’m content and grateful for what I am today and the far I have come. I look forward to greater and exciting times ahead.
“Enjoy what you do. Know that you are where you are, because you are good enough; and even in tough moments, just keep moving forward; and carry others along with you”
Abigail ChimukaPartnerMusa Dudhia & Co, Zambia
Anne KiunuhePartnerAnjarwalla & Khanna, Kenya
My journey to the current position has been challenging and at the same time rewarding. I have learned that in all of the challenges we encounter and the difficult situations we experience such as failure, we are constantly growing and evolving into a greater versions of ourselves. Throughout our journey in life, its important to maintain faith in ourselves and our natural ability for survival. Nothing is insurmountable.
“It is very important to work hard (sometimes harder than our male peers) and constantly look out for opportunities. Spotting opportunities and working hard to seize them is crucial for professional development. And once we reach a position of leadership, we should always ensure them that we create opportunities and open doors for others.”
Mekdes MezgebuConsultant & Attorney-at-Law Mesfin Tafesse & Associates, Ethiopia
My journey to my current position has been both exciting and challenging. I have learnt the importance of hard work and determination. I have also learnt the importance of having a great support system both at home (being a wife and a mother) and at work. I am grateful.
“Live and enjoy one day at a time but know exactly where you want to end up and keep your mind focused on that no matter what.”
Rachel Mwanje MusokePartnerMMAKS Advocates, Uganda
My journey to my current position has been nothing sort of surprising. Having established my career in London achieving career and life goals so typical of fortunate women of my generation (solicitor, wife, mother), ending up in Kenya (different career path and single mom) was not what I had planned. Never say never!
“‘Making it’ is a misnomer. Every day we need to ‘make it’ no matter what stage in our career we are at. There is no substitute for hard work. Making it means managing to have a life work balance and accomplish life goals and satisfaction in one’s personal and professional life.”
Sonal SejpalDirectorAnjarwalla & Khanna, Kenya
I have embraced the challenges thrust upon me by the senior position I hold, with a great sense of determination and passion to make a difference. I consider them to be critical to achieving one of my key purposes in life: to positively impact every person I interact with - whether through enabling solutions for clients, contributing to the growth and development of junior lawyers, facilitating the conversion of dreams to reality for the less fortunate and simply bringing joy and contentment to the lives of family and friends. I am deeply motivated to succeed, driven by a passion for the law and how that discipline impacts the lives of every person.
Safiyya PatelPartner, Business Unit Head - Corporate, Excom Mem-ber, Transformation Committee MemberWebber Wentzel, South Africa
My journey to my current position has been stimulating and satisfying albeit sometimes scary. I have been very lucky to have been at a firm that has provided me with unlimited support and opportunity - and flexibility when I needed it. I am constantly faced with new challenges and opportunities for learning and growth which is exciting.
“Cut yourself some slack - not all careers have to progress in the same way or at the same pace.Take some risks and remember to be champions for one another.”
Sally HuttonManaging Partner, Board & Excom Member, Transformation Committee MemberWebber Wentzel, South Africa
My journey to my current position has spanned continents & has been excitingly fulfilling, but there is still much more to do! I began encouraging women and the “girl child” to have the confidence to follow their dream from an age of 5, when we first started visiting villages in our constituency & I have never looked back since. Dedication, ambition & consistency are key to success. A glass ceiling is purely a matter of perception; don’t waste precious time thinking about it, just look onwards and upwards and remain focussed & steadfast, so that you too become a force a to be reckoned with!
“Everything in life is possible if you want it to be. Turn heads wherever you go & always remember to leave a legacy behind to inspire others that walk your path.”

“I always did something I was a little not ready to do. I think that’s how you grow. When there’s that moment of “Wow, I’m not really sure I can do this,” and you push through those moments,
that’s when you have a breakthrough.

Shamiza RatansiManaging PartnerATZ Law Chambers, Tanzania
My journey to my current position has been a combination of hard work and perseverance. Starting as an intern and gradually working my way up to becoming a Managing Partner has been possible due to the support and guidance I have received from the partners at the firm and also from the interactions with the partners of ALN Member firms “I have received a lot of guidance and mentoring in my journey and as such I would say “In order to be successful it is important to promote and support other qualified woman so that we can be a stronger team and achieve the change we seek in the profession.”

Ebele Iyayi Practice ManagerG Elias & Co., Nigeria
My journey to my current position has been almost too good to be true, yet completely unplanned and came full circle. I started my career at Webber Wentzel and made my way back … after being half way round the world.
“It is all about your network and staying authentic…remember never to burn your bridges. Don’t underestimate the value of hard work, resilience and staying true to yourself.”
“Start with the dream, entrust it to the omnipotent God, stay committed, loyal and patient towards the goal – It will be done!”
My professional journey has been rewarding, unexpected and full of lessons. I’ve learned that you must always keep an open mind to seize opportunities from unforeseen places. As a New York litigator, I never envisioned a career in Business Development. But here I am, in Kenya, learning as I go, growing with my team, and always reaching.
“Success in the corporate world requires some tenacity, lots of flexibility, close friends, great mentors and plenty of stamina. Believe in your abilities, trust that you can make a change, and strive!”
My journey to my current position has been very fascinating. Along the way I have developed and continued to build great relationships, work with a dynamic team and have never stopped learning. What has kept me going is learning from the experiences of others and being determined at each stage.
“Everyone’s journey is unique and always gives a different perspective and inspiration. One must have the passion, drive and commitment in whatever path they take and strive towards it.”

“Believing that anything can be done is the beginning of positivity. Change is constant when you believe.”
“Life is like a battlefield. You need to fight if you want to win. Challenges will always come your way but have faith, believe in yourself and never give up.”
“Courage and resilience are the most important attributes for a young lawyer. The practice of law can be tough, but it can also be very rewarding.”
“As a junior attorney, often times it’s best to curb your enthusiasm and just listen intently: ensure you are always listening more than you speak.”
“Don’t be confined in your imaginary boundaries; push yourself to the next level and you’ll be surprised every time”
“I am a strong woman and I can do whatever I want! This should be every woman’s daily mantra. Best believe through hard work and dedication you can do and be whoever it is you want to be.”

“No matter how daunting it seems, endeavour to have your voice heard. Speak. Speak on conference calls. Speak at conferences. Speak at workshops. Put your hand up and let your voice be heard. You have something of value to add to the subject”
“Be honest, kind, human. Know yourself, take care of yourself, address weaknesses. Be persistent, growth is not always linear. Find mentors. Make decisions, accept consequences.”
“Where there is a will there is a way. There is no mountain unclimbable for a strong willed woman.”
It can be done - “To get it done, ensure you have a bias towards action, break big plans into little tasks and watch yourself take baby steps into achievement.”
“There is nothing more humbling like an opportunity to work, nothing more beautiful than to succeed at it and nothing more fulfilling than to be a lawyer! I simply love what I do.”

“While it is important to look to others for inspiration, I do not measure my success against other people’s achievements. Running your own race is liberating as the only limits to your success are the ones you have placed there yourself”.
