This year, owing to the Covid-19 lockdown conditions, we celebrated our annual 67squared Mandela Day event in the form of a two-hour webinar on Friday 16 July. While we certainly missed the intense creativity of our usual daylong brand and website-building blitz that is the hallmark of the initiative, this online event enabled us to share some remarkable success stories from entrepreneurs within the 67squared community.<\/p>\n

Each of these young women spoke with passion and conviction of their struggles to maintain and grow their businesses during these exceptionally challenging times and shared valuable strategies and tactics on \u2019Surthriving the Pandemic\u2019, the theme of the entire webinar.<\/p>\n
