My Blog

Some days, it feels like I am firing on all cylinders and many, many days there’s so much to do that I feel privileged enough to get time to sit down to eat! As someone who understands the power of pouring back into myself, I recently thought about the notion of balance and how it’s just one more impossible ideal. Instead, I focused on the moments I gathered for myself that helped me recharge or refocus, listening to devotional podcasts and a weekly opening prayer with my team every morning of every first day of the working week , and I realized something: there’s a quiet rhythm in life that you have to lean into.

 I work hard to provide for my children to the best of my ability but l don't feel successful that l managed to prepare them enough for the true measure of success of a parent - a child that can stand on their own. It’s the soft hum of my garden at sunrise, when the world hasn’t quite woken up. These moments, ordinary yet sacred, have taught me something I never learned in any classroom or corporate training: success without stillness is just noise. For a long time, I thought fulfilment meant always moving forward growing, building, expanding. But over the years, I’ve come to understand that rest is also productive, faith is strategy, and presence is power.

If you know me well, you know I love gardening. Seeds don’t rush. They grow at their own pace, guided by rhythms we can’t control. You water, you wait, sometimes you forget and one day quietly, without ceremony life pushes through. That’s how I’ve learned to lead people, too. Whether it’s mentoring young professionals at July28, guiding my children, or working with entrepreneurs through mistakes and learning from them respecting diversity. 

I am a better leader than l was when l started I’ve learned that growth requires  patience. You can’t force people to bloom; you can only create the right conditions and trust the process. 

Every flower in my garden grows differently some need shade, others full sun and others just die and I haven't really figured out why. The same goes for people. Leadership isn’t about treating everyone the same; it’s about seeing them as they are and nurturing them as they need. Gardening taught me to appreciate timing  that pruning seasons are just as important as blooming ones. 

Sometimes cutting back is the only way to grow stronger. Its 2026, I've worked with great people, however, the team I'm with as we broadcast the site has given me a lighter season. My spirit feels lighter and I feel happier. It's true that God moves the wrong people out of the way, those that are not aligned vision-wise. He protects you even when you don't know. It doesn't mean those who left don't flourish elsewhere but perhaps the environment was not ideal for them.

When I first opened the doors of July28 in 2010, I simply wanted to build a firm that reflected integrity, excellence, and inclusion. I wanted to create a space where people, especially women, could show up fully as themselves and still deliver work that could compete anywhere in the world. I never imagined that a decade later, I’d look back and realize that being Zimbabwe’s first registered female-owned and led accounting firm wasn’t just a personal milestone, it was a mirror held up to our profession. It showed me what was missing. The numbers were clear: too few women were leading. And that’s when it hit me if the world of finance was evolving, then the women in it needed to evolve too.

Reprogramming the Narrative

Zimbabwe’s economy is filled with stories of resilience but resilience must now be met with reinvention. The world no longer rewards endurance; it rewards evolution. We need to reprogram how we think about women in finance and technology, in fact across STEM. Women must be seen not only as diligent accountants but as architects of digital infrastructure designing audit processes, coding financial compliance, and leading AI-driven insights. When a young accountant learns to automate a report, she’s not just saving time she’s redefining what leadership looks like. She’s saying, “I belong in the next chapter of this profession.”

Leave Your Mark on the Ledger

If you’ve ever doubted whether there’s space for you in technology whether you’re “too old,” “too creative,” or “not technical enough” let me tell you something: there is space, and it’s waiting for you. You don’t need to know Python or machine learning algorithms to start. All you need is curiosity. Open that software. Watch that tutorial. Ask that question. Because the minute you decide to learn, you’ve already begun leading. We don’t have to wait for someone to hand us permission or power. We already have both we just need to plug in. So, here’s my challenge to every woman reading this: Teach, mentor, or open one door for another woman this year. Help her find her code, her courage, her confidence. Because when women lift women, industries transform. And when women in accounting embrace technology, we don’t just balance the books we rebalance the future. And if you ask me, my friend, we’re only just getting started.

How to keep your chin up when nothing is working. Not everything is linear. Rising doesn't always mean you're the first but when you are a Red Devil at heart you don't quit.
