THE year 2019, I believe, will generally be remembered for its supine political leadership, broken promises, compounded race/religion rhetoric, incitement and provocation, and shattered hopes. But amidst all this doom and depression, 2019 should also be remembered as the year when women led the way in many fields.
This year marked the graceful retirement of Nicol David from competitive squash. Her seamless transition from world’s greatest female squash player to enabler, motivator, ambassador and, most of all, a young “elder stateswomen” of her sport should be a lesson to those who overstay their positions.
