HOW MENTORSHIP SHAPES TOMORROW’S LEADERS: MY JOURNEY TO #AFYWL

By Lisa Rumbidzai Simango

Throughout my life, I have come to appreciate the value of building a supportive
network and finding mentors committed to my personal and professional growth. My
undergraduate supervisor was instrumental in this journey, connecting me with
opportunities, such as the Tag a Life International (TALI) Programme in
Zimbabwe. I participated in TALI while pursuing my Master of Science in
International Relations, drawn to its mission of advocating for the rights of
girls and young women and creating safer spaces for them-values that resonate
deeply with my passions.

Through the TALI programme, I was assigned a mentor whose work focused on
economic justice for young women. Her passion for gender equality and
socio-economic development sparked my own commitment to youth empowerment and
gender justice. As I became more involved in the programs her organization was
implementing, I was exposed to innovative solutions at the intersection of
gender and socio-economic development. This mentorship not only deepened my
understanding of the barriers women face in accessing economic opportunities,
but also inspired me to explore potential solutions. These experiences
strengthened my resolve to create sustainable, inclusive socio-economic
solutions for Africa.

In 2021, my undergraduate supervisor, once again introduced me to another
programme - the African Union (AU)-United Nations Development Programme (UNDP)
African Young Women Leadership Fellowship (AfYWL). Reading through the aspects
of the programme and testimonies from the alumni of the programme, it felt like
natural next step, perfectly aligned with my aspirations to enhance my skills in
advocacy, gender justice, and project management.

I submitted my application in September 2021, but despite my best efforts, at
the end of the year, I received an email we all dread - we regret to inform you
that…I was devastated, I questioned my abilities, my dreams and my worth, but I
refused to let this setback define me. Instead, I continued engaging with civil
society organizations in Zimbabwe, attending workshops on young people's
socio-economic justice and development.

In August 2023, strongly encouraged by my undergraduate supervisor, I decided to
reapply for the AfYWL Fellowship. This time, I approached the process with
renewed confidence, a stronger support network, and a broader perspective.
Drawing from my past experiences, I was determined to perform better than my
first attempt and to make the most of the opportunity ahead.

In November 2023, I received the exciting news that I had advanced to the final
interview stage of the AfYWL Fellowship Programme. Though nervous, I found
strength in the unwavering support of my family. The anticipation was
overwhelming, but in mid-December, I received the best Christmas gift of all: I
had been selected for the third cohort of the Fellowship! Early in 2024, I
confirmed my participation and eagerly awaited deployment. On March 11, 2024, I
was informed that I would be deployed to South Africa. A swirl of
emotions-excitement and apprehension-filled me, but I embraced this new chapter
with purpose and determination.

Reflecting on my journey, I recognize how setbacks, such as my initial
rejection, became valuable steppingstones to personal growth. After that first
disappointment, I invested time in self-development, seeking guidance and
mentorship to help shape my career path.

The mentors I've had the privilege to learn from have been instrumental in
shaping my journey. Their wisdom, encouragement, and willingness to invest time
in my development have not only influenced my professional trajectory, but also
strengthened my confidence and sense of direction.

This journey has also taught me the art of identifying mentors. It begins with
understanding your aspirations and seeking out individuals whose experiences and
values align with your goals. Mentors can take many forms-leaders, peers, or
even those with fresh perspectives. The key lies in approaching these
relationships with openness, respect, and a genuine desire to grow.

Equally important is how you use their guidance. Asking thoughtful questions,
tailoring their advice to your unique circumstances, and holding yourself
accountable to the progress you make are critical steps. Mentorship is not about
mimicry; it's about becoming the best version of yourself by leveraging the
wisdom they share.

Now, as I continue this next chapter as a fellow attached to the UNDP South
Africa country office, as the youth empowerment coordinator, I am excited to
continue growing as a young African woman leader, championing gender equality,
socio-economic development, and the empowerment of future generations.

Having benefited immensely from mentorship, I am committed to giving back. I am
eager to empower others, sharing the lessons I've learned and helping them
navigate their own paths. Mentorship is a powerful cycle of growth and
generosity, and I am proud to contribute to its continuity.
