Women Who Are Making History Today: Empowerment, Leadership & Service That Truly Matters

As Women’s History Month draws to a close on March 31st, we celebrate not only the trailblazers of the past but the extraordinary women shaping tomorrow — right here, right now.

From kitchen-table startups to global movements, British women like Julie Deane CBE, Sahar Hashemi OBE, Baroness Karren Brady CBE, Deborah Meaden, Anne-Marie Imafidon MBE, Tessa Clarke, Ella Mills, and many more continue to prove that vision, resilience, and courage can build empires and drive meaningful change.

Yet true history-making also happens in the dedicated service of women who quietly empower others every day.

At Global Path Connections, we are proud to build a positive image and celebrate the leadership of diverse women who serve with excellence in our broader community initiatives. In this space, these remarkable women stand at the forefront — inspiring, supporting, and warmly welcoming newcomers. They help families understand British life standards, navigate real challenges, and successfully integrate while preserving their dignity and cultural identity.

We are especially honored to highlight:

Eng.Farida Stankezai, whose dedication and leadership continue to make a profound difference in guiding and empowering community members. 

Dr. Nazee Akbari MBE, Chief Executive Officer of New Citizens’ Gateway (https://www.ncgateway.org.uk/ ), bringing visionary leadership and unwavering commitment to refugee and migrant support. 

Dr. Fariba Kellaway, with decades of experience in fundraising, business development, and direct service to refugees and asylum seekers. 

Sanja Dujmovic Potnar, with her rich background in service delivery and organizational development for vulnerable communities. 

Fanta Sheriff, whose own journey as a refugee fuels her compassionate support and advice work. 

Geetha Saba-Nathan, whose financial expertise and passion for social enterprise create real opportunities.

And the many other inspiring women in our extended network who serve proudly and make a big difference.

These women embody the true spirit of leadership: creating space for others to rise. In a diverse team united by purpose, they show that empowerment is about lifting entire communities, one family and one newcomer at a time.

To every woman reading this: your voice, your resilience, and your service matter. You are making history today.

At Global Path Connections, we remain committed to amplifying these stories and creating pathways for meaningful integration and belonging.

 Women’s History is still being written — and we are writing it together.
