Under the remarkable leadership of Frida Owinga during my time as a volunteer at the Organization of Women in International Trade, I had the privilege of learning invaluable lessons that continue to shape my personal and professional journey. Frida exemplified selflessness, faith, and dedication, embodying the essence of servant leadership. From her, I learned not only how to lead with vision but also the importance of having something to offer when engaging with others. Her wisdom and mentorship extended beyond programs and partnerships; they touched on the core of building meaningful relationships and navigating life with purpose.

I heard Fridah speak one day at an entrepreneurs event and I told the organisers I want her number. I was inspired, challenged, and left with action points. That session and the subsequent ones have been a "guidelight." Having served with her, I have learnt the art of "doing it afraid," which is what we call courage. I have also learnt that when you are convicted of something, you push forward, and figure it out as you go. Every time I am dealing with uncertainty, i always remember her words: "Perfection is an illusion". I am a better person because of Fridah Owinga
