Africa-Press – Botswana. <\/strong><\/span>Hosted at the National Museum and Art Gallery in Gaborone over the weekend, the first-ever Bernini Purple Rain Soiree was aimed at bringing women from different walks of life under one roof to share stories and celebrate life as a woman navigating through life in this day and age.<\/b><\/p>\n

The soiree is the brainchild of media personality Boineelo Hardy, who partnered with Bernini, which is a range of sparkling spritzers made from wine and designed for women who are innovative, confident and empowered.<\/p>\n

Around Women\u2019s Day<\/p>\n

\u201cI saw it fit as a woman in Botswana to have an event around Women\u2019s Day that is not a high tea but a fun night to celebrate our womanhood,\u201d Hardy said at the intimate soiree.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is the first event of its kind and hopefully the first of many to come for decades. The event provides a safe space to share our views and have fun.\u201d<\/p>\n

While most women in attendance expressed how they practice self-love, keynote speaker Linda Keloneilwe, who is a lawyer and mother, shared some nuggets of wisdom on how women can strike a balance as homemakers, community members and every role that is demanded of them and still be expected to be active in the economy.<\/p>\n

Proverbs 31<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen we were young, my grandmother used to come into our room at the crack of dawn and open wide the curtains, saying a girl is not supposed to sleep until the sun rises,\u201d she said. \u201cI grew up with this lesson, and as a Christian woman, my favourite scripture is Proverbs 31, which relates to what my grandmother used to say.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cProverbs 31 tells us that the ideal woman is virtuous, strong and a selfless woman who does not wait to be served but rises early, even before sunrise, to delegate tasks and engage in business.<\/p>\n

\u201cSo a woman was created for all this and what I want to highlight is that it is okay to delegate because what burns us out is that we want to be everything and not ask for help.\u201d<\/p>\n

A side hustle<\/p>\n

Keloneilwe advised women to engage in business with a side hustle, to buy themselves flowers as a form of self-love and to learn to say no.<\/p>\n

As the sun set over the venue, patrons were invited to raise their glasses to a day filled with elegance, fun and the exhilaration of belonging to a safe space that celebrates womanhood.<\/p>\n
