The Diadem’s Glow | Wakatendeka Mhlanga | TEDxBorrowdaleWomen

A diadem is a jewelled headband worn as a symbol of sovereignty and its glow is a sign of pride to the one wearing it and a beacon of hope to the one looking up to the person wearing it. Women are our modern day diadems. The essence of womanhood is created under the pressures of society but they have proven to be resilient. As the times have changed, they too have evolved to better adapt with technology and through it all, they are still rooted in their femininity. Constantly nurturing this progress, women have shown that just as a diadem glows, they too glow and radiate the beauty of power. The progress they have made is not only a source of pride for themselves but for the families they come from and they have become beacons of hope in the communities they hail from. Young diadems now have trustworthy role models and mentors to guide and help them glow. She is a born again Christian and an industrial chemist in training at the University of Zimbabwe.
