True Love Magazine hosted a Champagne Breakfast designed to celebrate and ignite the influence among 100 C-suite female executives in commemoration of International Women’s Day at The Lord Erroll Gourmet Restaurant, Runda.

The event dubbed “woman of influence” was a high glamour session with the highlight being powerful talks by Chairperson of New Faces New Voices, Andia Chakava, Life Coach Mary Waceke Muia and Safaricom Chief Customer Officer at Safaricom Sylvia Mulinge.

In honor of the woman of influence series, we rounded up some of the most inspiring quotes spoken by powerful women around the world, words of wisdom to arm you with all the courage you need for a great month.
