“Getting some insight into the ways you can prioritise your overall well-being and work towards being a better version of yourself and those around you were key in terms of what I gained from Ladies to Legends this year. I loved everything about the event, such important issues affecting women were discussed which was an eye-opening experience where questions I was afraid to even ask myself were answered,” said participant Dyandre van Wyk.
Kagisho concluded, “The most memorable takeaway from the evening was that women will be tested in various ways, and they always come out shining and winning.”
