Social media has its pro’s and cons. You can spend hours scrolling through useless information that does nothing but clog your mind. However, if you are smart about who you follow – your timeline can serve as a major motivator. These 5 women from various countries in Africa – living and working in different parts of the world are definitely worth following. Their posts are uplifting, poignant and very much welcome in a time where there is more noise than depth. Thank us later.
