Education Minister Dr Nyan Gadsby-Dolly -
Minister of Education Dr Nyan Gadsby-Dolly called on women to be “unapologetic” as they continue to strive for success, during the Amcham Women’s Leadership Conference held virtually on Friday.
Gadsby-Dolly said from a young child she had to challenge the status quo. She said society has often placed expectations on women to be seen and not heard, not be too loud or dirty.
“They expect us to act like a lady – whatever that means. We are taught from birth to conform to these rules, to conform and behave as though we are ‘women,’ and without those restrictions we seem to not be considered as such.
