Vlisco has announced the Executive Director of Emerging Public Leaders and the Founder of Leading Ladies Network (LLN), Yawa Hansen-Quao, as Vlisco Ghana Ambassador for the year 2021.

Yawa has nurtured female leadership and social entrepreneurship in Africa for close to a decade through her non profit organization, LLN, where she has nurtured women and girls into impactful leaders.

Commenting on the appointment, Mr. Stephen Badu, Marketing Director of Vlisco Ghana, said, “Yawa is a great achiever as well as a confident and bold woman who embodies the Vlisco values.

Her story is truly a shining light and inspiration to many women. We are excited to have Yawa on board and her appointment is timely due to the key role she plays in nurturing young women, which is a critical aspect of our work with women in Ghana.”

Commenting on her new role as the 2021 Vlisco Ambassador, Yawa Hansen-Quao said “I feel honored and a wave of responsibility to leverage this opportunity for the benefit of others.

This campaign says a lot about what Vlisco as a brand stands for and I am looking forward to support them in achieving their goal to impact as many women as possible in Ghana.”

Vlisco Women’s Month (VWM), launched nine years ago, is an annual campaign to honour the outstanding achievements of Ghanaian women who are contributing positively in inspiring future female leaders to follow their career paths.

Every year, in the month of March, Vlisco supports the female agenda through its commitment to empowering women and helping them to realise their true potential.

The theme for this year’s celebration is ‘Unite for Better’ which is a core of Vlisco’s mandate of bringing together a community of women leaders who are united in supporting other women to achieve a common goal.
