Keeping in line with my decision to post articles or videos of phenomenal women I come across or learn about, I was impressed by this CNN story about seven women who work as pilots at Durban Port, South Africa. The phenomenal woman series is about women, who challenge me mentally, intellectually and in different aspects of life. Women who know who they are and what they stand for and women who do not feel the need to dilute what they say to please the masses but stand firm, knowing full well that what they are saying makes sense. Women who inspire and challenge the norm, that’s the woman I want to become and so, I celebrate those who have gone ahead of me in their different endeavours.
Now, in case you didn’t know, Durban Port is one of the busiest ports in Africa and the world. But I didn’t know it was the only port in the world with female pilots. I don’t know these women by name but that is an achievement worth celebrating.
