As part of activities to celebrate International Women’s Day, Bolt Ghana has organised an event to discuss the importance of gender inclusivity and empowerment.
The event was aimed at reiterating the company’s commitment to women and empowering them on the equity level and giving them more opportunity.
The discussants at the event were the Brand Manager for Guinness Ghana, Wilma Amoo-Osae, a female Bolt Driver, Monica Ayebilla, Global Head, Dealer Engagement, Autochek Africa Edith Akati, founder & CEO of Talkative Mom, Eno Quagrine and Delsie Fosu, Bolt Ghana.
They talked on topics including embracing leadership qualities as a woman without fear of judgment, building relationships through effective stakeholder management and finding your voice for self-advocacy
Speaking to The Spectator, the Marketing Manager for Bolt Ghana, Miranisa Wallace-Ollennu said safety and inclusion was important to women especially for female riders within the company.
“We have a lot of prioritisation on our female drivers and we are doing our best to make sure they are safe with their rides,” she said.
She said it was important to create opportunities for female drivers to feel safe to earn more on the platform adding that the company would take initiatives to help them.
Ms Amoo-Osae urged women to be intentional about what they want and how they want to be addressed and identified at their workplaces and in the society.
She also encouraged women not to be afraid of their weaknesses but rather use them to their advantage.
Ms Amoo-Osae advised men to give young women opportunities they deserve with no strings attached.
For Ms Ayebilla she said women need to be courageous in any field perceived dominated by men adding that the notion that women could be rivers was yet to be accepted in Africa
She said it was therefore necessary for women drivers to be confident because “every successful woman becomes an inspiration to another woman.”
According to Ms Akati, women leaders should groom more women who would take over from them in the near future.
To the young women she urged them to look for people like them and study their paths.
Mrs Quagrine urged women to be empathetic and take people seriously adding that “your social capital will help you achieve your goal.”

About 120 golfers from clubs across Ghana participated in an 18-hole competition, dubbed ‘MTN 30th Anniversary CEO Invitational Golf Tournament’ held at the Achimota Golf Club on Saturday.
At the end of the hectic day, Frederick Semenu Duvor won the Men’s Group A event with 39 points, while Julienne Afi claimed the Ladies’ Group A title with the same score.
Yaw Mireku Jnr. won the Men’s Group B with an impressive 45 points, while Kous Louanges Mang took the Ladies’ Group B title with 38 points.
Kofi Mangesi won Men’s Group C with 40 points while Elorm R. Akuash Bonney claimed the Ladies’ version with 42 points.
In the Seniors Division, Jan Vogel emerged winner of the men’s category with 39 gross, while Helen Appah topped the ladies’ category with 44 gross.
Addressing participants, the company’s Board Chairman, Mr Ishmael Yamson, urged the company to approach its next phase with the same resilience, discipline and determination that have defined its success over the past three decades.
He drew a striking parallel between the game of golf and MTN Ghana’s three-decade journey, describing both as long games in which success depends less on one spectacular moment than on consistency, patience, judgment and the ability to recover from setbacks.
He said, golf had taught him a lesson that extended far beyond the fairways, thus, a round cannot be won on the first hole.
In golfing terms, he said, MTN Ghana had encountered its share of regulatory bunkers, competitive hazards and unexpected storms that had forced the company to pause, reassess and change its approach.
But those challenges, he suggested, were part of the journey rather than reasons to abandon it.
