Women's Month wrap-up — Digital Diaries Episode 4 Mbali Magudulela (Sibanye Stillwater) Nola Xala (Sibanye Stillwater) and Lindy Scott (Lindy Scott Creations) This episode wraps up WiMSA's women's month programme. We reflect on the Digital Diaries programme which took place every Thursday in August (2020). Since WiMSA's 2020 drive is FutureFIT, where F stands for Focussed, I stands for Inspired and T stands for Transformed, we hosted four evening events with the same themes (including Future). The Digital Diaries series was sponsored by Sibanye Stillwater. WiMSA deputy chair (Petro du Pisani) speaks to Mbali and Nola from Sibanye Stillwater and Lindy Scott (fellow committee member and creative), who pulled together this amazing programme. We talk about our highlights from the programme, supporting artists and creatives during the Covid-19 pandemic and how a focus on mental health provided the inspiration for putting the programme together.

The sponsors for our Digital Diaries programme were Sibanye Stillwater https://www.sibanyestillwater.com/
