“Thank for organising a phenomenal event. I was extremely humbled to have been nominated for ‘Business mum of the Year’. I have been able to make connections with those ladies in my category The nomination has certainly boosted my confidence. As a parent, we are often guilty for putting ourselves on the back burner. This was the sign I needed to keep striving. I will continue to build my empire and show my 2 daughters how mum does business. I will be the mum they need me to be and more. Striving for progression for not perfection. As a mum with a chronic illness, I will show my daughters how to turn pain into power. I am my own link. Thank you for this opportunity. Congratulations to all the finalists and winners. Good luck on your journey.” – Pae’j Melville.
