March was quite an intense month for us, as women’s history month, it was packed full of activities and we had to take a break from our Lightbox Sessions. Now we are back and hitting the road running as we will be having a gbas gbos session with Florence Warikam.
Florence will be speaking to us on what is needed for a robust Investment Portfolio.
