By Burnett Munthali

In a powerful speech at the Pearl Convention Center in Malawi, Miss Malawi Thandie Chisi has urged young women to seize their potential and become leaders in their communities.

Speaking at the International Women’s Day commemoration, Ms Chisi said the event was not just a celebration, but a call to action. She emphasized that the future of Malawi depended on the empowerment of its young women.

Ms Chisi, who was crowned Miss Malawi just a few months ago, shared her own story of dreaming big and working towards her goals. She said that leadership was not about position, but about purpose, and that every young woman in the room had the potential to make a difference.

The event was attended by the Right Honourable Dr Jane Ansah, the former Vice President of Malawi, who expressed her support for the empowerment of young women. Dr Ansah has also donated K1 million kwacha to support the Miss Malawi organization.

Ms Chisi praised the efforts of women who have broken barriers and achieved greatness in various fields, and encouraged the young women present to be brave and dream big. She said that when women rise, communities rise, families rise, and nations rise.

The speech was a reminder that International Women’s Day is not just about celebrating achievements, but about awakening potential and reminding every girl and woman that their voice matters, their dreams matter, and their ideas matter.

The event was a call to action, urging everyone to support and empower the next generation of leaders in Malawi, with the belief that they have the potential to achieve great things.
