Africa Amazons Edition (June–July 2025): Women Shaping Africa with Vision, Strength, and Purpose

In its June–July 2025 Africa Amazons Edition, The New Africa Magazine casts a powerful spotlight on African women who are not waiting to be invited into leadership—they are actively building it. This special issue honors women leading transformative change across governance, science, diplomacy, and grassroots empowerment.

“This edition is a tribute to a generation of African women rising—not for applause, but for purpose,” writes Dr. Gift Chidimma Nnamoko Orairu, Publisher of The New Africa Amazons. “Our continent’s progress is being authored daily by women whose leadership is strategic, grounded, and transformative.”

Featured prominently is Fatima Camara, Guinea’s Minister of Fisheries and Maritime Economy, whose work is revolutionizing the blue economy by positioning women as central players in policy, trade, and innovation. Under Guinea’s 2023–2027 Strategic Plan, gender inclusion is a core pillar, with women-led cooperatives and infrastructure reform reshaping the future of maritime economies across West Africa.

In the field of science and policy, Ing. Khadija Bendam, First Vice President of the International Nuclear Societies Council, offers a bold vision for inclusion and interdisciplinary leadership. “Women can play a transformative role—not just as engineers, but as educators, communicators, and leaders,” she affirms. Her advocacy at global summits is reshaping perceptions of who leads in science and why it matters.

Liberia’s Second Lady, Synlesseh Stephenie Dahn-Koung, also takes center stage, championing inclusive development for persons with disabilities and expanding the role of women in post-conflict leadership. “We’ve led in our homes for generations—now it’s time to lead in the nation,” she declares in a compelling interview that anchors the edition’s message of generational transformation.

Editor-in-Chief Lanem Law Kuma reinforces the magazine’s mission: “The Africa Amazons featured here are not merely part of the future—they are active authors of the present. We are honored to share their stories, told faithfully and thoughtfully.”

Senior Managing Editor Karima Rhanem adds: “This edition is not only a recognition—it is a resource. A resource for those who believe that leadership must be transformational, and that African women are already showing us how.”

With stories spanning Guinea, Morocco, Liberia, and beyond, the June–July 2025 Africa Amazons Edition of The New Africa Magazine reminds us that leadership is not about visibility alone—it is about vision, responsibility, and the power to create lasting change.
