Testimonials

"Meeting such an extraordinary creature was the greatest privilege of my life. I am so conscious of how fortunate I have been that I almost feel embarrassed for such a blessing. Anna shined each single day of our journey with her kindness, beauty, empathy and passion for life. She taught me to be grateful no matter what, and be strong and patient. She made me a happier and better person. She is not gone, she is with me, as part of my soul"

Lorenzo

"Anna is an inspiration. Her energy was contagious and her humility grounded all who knew her. It is rare to find someone with such love, passion and sincerity. She played a special role in my journey at Accenture. Thank you Anna"

John Watling

Managing Director, Accenture

"We met at work- we both joined the company at the same time and we were in orientation for the same department. After meeting and experiencing her, we gravitated towards each other because we were young, black women trying to make it in the industry. I reached out to Anna to be my career counsellor and it was the best decision I have ever made. She advocated for me, we ended up working on the same projects where we grew and even shared tears together..."

Tatenda Sibanda

Senior Business Manager, FNB

"Anna was my dearest friend and colleague for many years. I was fortunate to attend her wedding to Lorenzo being such a beautiful event with so much love. She was taken from us too soon and it is a loss to humanity that her angelic nature is no longer here to spread magic dust in everything she touched. She has a huge heart and wanted to help girls get an education as she worked so hard to improve herself with sheer determination not only in her studies, her work, and she was a fitness passionate..."

"Anna was and still is a phenomenal woman. Her super powers were empathy and connection. She understood that her purpose was to not just serve herself but to serve others and help them to reach their fullest potential, especially women. She lived a life of inspiration by seeking to better not just her life but those of others, she wanted to see every woman grow, live and prosper. I worked with Anna at Accenture and was in awe of her professionalism and intelligence and how she grew from humble beginnings lead an impactful life, and to have driven a successful career both locally and internationally..."

Kele Boagkomo

Mentor and managing director, Accenture

"An exceptional person with a passion for life, Anna was a very determined and driven person and had an incredible professional outlook on projects and tasks she engaged on. Anna was always keen to constantly develop herself and always studied and went the extra mile to ensure that her skills were up to date. Her work ethic was amazing and she was driven to succeed in all areas she undertook. Perhaps her greatest accolade was that she was never afraid to ask a question to help her understand better. She had a zest for life and always encouraged and inspired those around her. An amazing human being and friend, and one we all learned from".
