Fortunate Kufakunesu releases new book
Fortunate Kufakunesu, a businesswoman, pastor, and philanthropist, recently launched her latest book titled Unleashing Her Potential: Guiding a Girl into an Empowered Woman. The book, which was unveiled last Friday at The Courtyard in Harare, advocates for women and girls to actively pursue their dreams and aspirations.
In an interview with NewsDay Life & Style, Kufakunesu shared the inspiration behind her work: “I am passionate about girls and young women pursuing their dreams. Looking at my own upbringing, I saw the need and the importance of teaching the girl child to chase her purpose.”
Kufakunesu is the founder of Lily of Valleys Home of Hope, a non-governmental organization that empowers adolescent girls and young women in vulnerable communities. She also leads Life Issues Solutions Hub, an initiative dedicated to helping women live empowered lives.
Speaking at the launch, Tapera Chikandiwa, founder of High Achievers Coach Educational Centre, praised the book, calling it a symbol of transformation: “Unleashing Her Potential is more than a book, it is a movement and a call to action. Empowering the girl child means empowering our future.”
This latest release follows Kufakunesu's previous book, A Woman In Pursuit of Purposeful Destiny, which was launched in December. Both works highlight her ongoing commitment to supporting and empowering women and girls.
