In part 2 of SheCentre: The Female Podcast's conversation with Harriet Kamikazi Byarugaba, we delve deeper into her remarkable journey of resilience, determination, and self-discovery. Motivated by a promise to provide a better life for her family, Harriet embarked on a journey filled with challenges and triumphs.
After fulfilling her promise to her family in her early 20s by purchasing property and ensuring access to education, Harriet pursued international exposure, working in the UK before returning to South Africa. Despite facing hardships upon her return, Harriet remained steadfast in her commitment to contributing to her continent in a non-corporate setting.
With guidance from a supportive friend, Harriet entered the field of conflict management and peace-building, leading her to diverse African countries and eventually to a role in the African Union stationed in Somalia. Despite the risks and uncertainties, Harriet embraced the opportunity, relying on her colleagues and creating a safe space for herself amidst challenging circumstances.
However, tragedy struck when an attack on their base claimed the lives of her colleagues, prompting Harriet to reevaluate her priorities and never take life for granted. She eventually transitioned to work in Kenya, where she continued to balance her professional responsibilities with her role as a single mother.
Through her experiences, Harriet learned the importance of self-care, resilience, and community support. She emphasizes the need for women to prioritize their well-being and build a strong support network, knowing that every challenge they face will ultimately propel them forward.
