**GRATEFUL TO BE NAMED ONE OF ASCENT’S TOP 100 CAREER WOMEN IN AFRICA FOR 2025 — AND HERE’S WHY IT MEANS SO MUCH MORE THAN YOU THINK**

**By Chinny Okoye (Yes, that one)**

Let’s cut through the noise.

You don’t get named in a list like **Ascent’s Top 100 Career Women in Africa for 2025** by accident. You earn it. You fight for it. You bleed for it.

So when I say I’m *grateful* to be recognized alongside some of the most powerful, bold, and visionary women on the continent, I mean it from the deepest part of my soul.

This isn’t just another award. This is a statement. To the world. To the doubters. To the jealous haters who still think women can’t lead?
**Watch this.**

### 🔥 THIS ISN’T JUST ABOUT ME — IT’S ABOUT THE MOVEMENT

I’ve always said, real women don’t fear strong plans — they build empires with no ceiling.

And let me tell you something — being placed among the **Top 100 Career Women in Africa** means I’m standing next to queens. Warriors. Visionaries. Slaylebrities Leaders who are not just breaking glass ceilings — they’re shattering ‘em into dust and using the shards to carve their names into history.

To every woman on that list — you’re not just inspiring little girls. You’re building the future of this continent.

To the Honorable Minister for Women Affairs, **Imaan Sulaiman-Ibrahim**, thank you for giving me the opportunity to serve my country in a space I’ve always been passionate about — **advancing women**.

This ain’t just politics. This is purpose.

### 🏆 SHOUTOUT TO ASCENT CLUB — YOU KNOW WHAT’S UP

Massive respect to the team at **Ascent Club** for recognizing excellence where it truly belongs.

This recognition isn’t just a pat on the back — it’s a call to action. It’s a reminder that leadership isn’t about titles or trophies. It’s about impact. It’s about legacy.

So to Ascent — you didn’t pick the easiest road. You picked the right one. And that’s why your list matters.

### 💪 WOMEN ARE THE FUTURE — AND THEY’RE THE PRESENT TOO

People ask me all the time — what’s the secret to success?

I tell ‘em: **Support women. Believe in women. Step aside and let women lead.**

Because when you empower a woman, you don’t just lift her — you lift families. Communities. Nations.

And that’s exactly what we’re seeing across Africa. Women stepping up. Taking over. Running important things better than anyone else ever could.

So if you still think women belong in the kitchen, go back to 1950. Because in 2025, the boardroom, the parliament, and the battlefield belong to women.

### 🚨 TO EVERY GIRL WHO’S EVER BEEN TOLD SHE CAN’T —

This is for you.

When they told you to sit down, you stood taller.
When they told you to shut up, you spoke louder.
When they told you you weren’t enough — you became everything.

And now? Now you’re being recognized. Celebrated. Honored.

Not because you asked for it.
But because you earned it.

### 🌍 THE JOURNEY CONTINUES…

This isn’t the end. Absolutely not.

It’s just the beginning.

There’s more work to do. More ceilings to break. More systems to flip. More minds to change.

But guess what?

We’re not scared.
We’re not backing down.
We’re not asking for permission.

We’re doing it anyway.

So here’s to the journey ahead. To the victories yet to come. To the battles we’ll win, not just for ourselves — but for every girl watching us right now.
