Bella Disu, a distinguished senior executive at Globacom, Cobblestone, Abumet, and Julius Berger, has called on women to reclaim their space and prioritize their growth in all aspects of life. Speaking on the occasion of International Women\u2019s Day, Disu, a passionate advocate for leadership, innovation, and lasting change, shared her personal experiences and insights on the challenges women face in professional and personal spaces.<\/p>\n
In a powerful statement, Disu recounted instances where she walked into rooms and was met with the greeting, \u201cGood morning, sirs,\u201d despite her presence. \u201cIt doesn\u2019t happen all the time, but when it does, it\u2019s a reminder that women aren\u2019t just overlooked; sometimes, we\u2019re invisible,\u201d she said. Her remarks highlighted the subtle yet pervasive biases that women often encounter, even in high-level professional settings.<\/p>\n
The Importance of Self-Advocacy<\/strong><\/p>\n Disu emphasized the importance of women advocating for themselves in such situations. \u201cAdvocating for ourselves doesn\u2019t mean shouting to be heard,\u201d she explained. \u201cIt can be as simple as saying, \u2018Actually, I wasn\u2019t addressed,\u2019 or \u2018I\u2019d like to ensure my perspective is considered.\u2019 Firm. Polite. Unapologetic. Then we move on, no over-explaining, no dwelling on it.\u201d<\/p>\n Her message underscored the need for women to assert their presence and contributions confidently, without fear of being perceived as aggressive or confrontational. Disu\u2019s approach reflects a broader call for women to reclaim their space in every part of their lives, from boardrooms to communities.<\/p>\n Reclaiming Space and Prioritizing Growth<\/strong><\/p>\n Disu also addressed the societal expectations that often pressure women to prioritize others at the expense of their own growth. \u201cWomen have spent years pouring into others: families, careers, communities, often at the cost of themselves,\u201d she noted. However, she expressed optimism about the growing recognition among women that prioritizing their own development is not selfish but necessary.<\/p>\n \u201cNow, more women are recognizing that prioritizing their own growth isn\u2019t selfish; it\u2019s necessary,\u201d she said. \u201cI love seeing women stand up and say, \u2018It\u2019s my time.\u2019 Owning their ambitions. Stepping into leadership. Speaking with authority. Taking the opportunities they once hesitated to claim.\u201d<\/p>\n A Call to Action on International Women\u2019s Day<\/strong><\/p>\n Disu\u2019s statement resonated with the theme of this year\u2019s International Women\u2019s Day, which encourages women to take action not just for others but for themselves as well. She urged women to embrace their ambitions, step into leadership roles, and seize opportunities with confidence. \u201cThis year\u2019s International Women\u2019s Day reminds us to take action\u2014not just for others, but for ourselves too,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n A Trailblazer in Leadership<\/strong><\/p>\n As a prominent figure in Nigeria\u2019s corporate landscape, Bella Disu has consistently championed the cause of women\u2019s empowerment. Her roles at Globacom, Cobblestone, Abumet, and Julius Berger have positioned her as a leader who drives impact and fosters innovation.
