On Friday, 20 March 2026, we had our first Women in Economics Girls Night In session under the guidance of Miss Sephutile Mhlongo, marking the conclusion of our mentorship journey ✨.

This was not your conventional networking event, but it was just as powerful—if not more 💫. The evening created a relaxed and intentional space for reflection, learning, and meaningful connection 🤍.

We were privileged to gain invaluable insights from our speakers 🎤. Miss Sharon opened the night with a powerful conversation on value, reminding us that value is not one-sided—it is both given and received 💡. She emphasized the importance of understanding ourselves, maintaining a healthy work-life balance ⚖️, being mindful of our mental health 🧠, and having the courage to ask for help 🙏🏽.

Miss Bagezile Dube guided us through the importance of identity and building a strong personal foundation 🌱. She encouraged us to define who we are, where we are going, and the value we bring 🌍, while sharing her inspiring career journey 🚀. She reminded us that while degrees open doors 🎓, reputation and relationships keep you in the room 🤝.

We are incredibly grateful to our mentor, Miss Sephutile, for her warmth, hospitality, and intentional investment in our growth throughout this journey 💐🙏🏽. Beyond the lessons, we shared meals 🍽️, laughter 😄, and meaningful conversations that strengthened our sense of community 🤗.

This was a beautiful way to close off the mentorship program—and the first of many impactful gatherings to come 🌟.
