The Sowetan goes beyond informing you, but magnified your voice as you raised your fists, demanding the respect you deserved and a shot at opportunities to excel. We cheered with you when you broke through limitations, occupied spaces that were never meant for you, and flipped the narrative to affirm your true identity.

The #KnowYourPlace movement is precisely that – it is recognition that throughout history, you have been told to know your place, to dream only as far as others let you, to aim only as high as their ceilings permitted.

But you didn’t.

You knew your dreams were much bigger, your resolve much deeper and your talents much greater than many imagined.

You knew your place was wherever you decided it ought to be.

This is why we celebrate you for the strides you make to flip the script in your spaces and to push back against barriers designed to confine you.  

Join Nwabisa Makunga, Editor of Sowetan with a panel of women who flipped the script, as they share how they continue to push new frontiers of possibilities in these difficult times, and urge you to always know your place, to seek it, to own it.
