PGMAG: Lady Anita, it’s an honour to interview you for this edition of PGMAG.
LA: Thank you very much.
PGMAG: I and the entire team of Powerhouse Global Magazine congratulates you for adding another year, and for leading this great global mission.
LA: Yeah! Another year of growth and learning has just begun for me – thank you for your good wishes, and for being part of the mission.
PGMAG: As a leader, what are some of the keys to leading a successful team?
LA: Leadership position is a place of service – you become responsible for others. The first key to leading a successful team is to understand the vision and mission of your organisation. Secondly, communicate the vision to your team. And thirdly, understand the strength of your team members, and delegate accordingly. Also, create time for nurturing the growth of each member of your team.
PGMAG: It’s ‘black history’ month in the USA and the month of love around the world. What are your views on these important celebrations?
LA: Well, history has it that the blacks in the USA have not been treated fairly over time, and they suffer more than other ethnicities in the country. However, the blacks are unbreakable, and they are powerful forces in terms of entrepreneurship and community building. I’m no politician but, I am proud to be a black woman who is making a difference in the world. I pray one day; my brothers and sisters will take their place at the tables of world powers.
Talking about love; it simply means being the reason for the smile on some else’s face – service to humanity. It’s not just about the physical gifts on 14th February, but the heart to make others become more than they are.
PGMAG: What is your message for world leaders?
LA: Act on your promises to the people - create opportunities for the people by ensuring that the policies and legislations benefit your people.
PGMAG: Please tell the world more about Powerhouse Global Magazine and other projects you are working on.

PGMAG: In the wake of covid-19, the world was turned upside down within a few months before our eyes. As a global voice, what can be done to mitigate the damages caused by the pandemic?
LA: The world need healing from the effect of the pandemic. The healing comes from the mind and then the body. Global collaboration is one of the main avenues to recover from the effect of the pandemic. Yes! Global collaboration.
PGMAG: What are the top three books that changed your life?

1. The Bible – I am nothing without it – absolutely nothing.
2. The Five Major Pieces to the Life Puzzle – Jim Rohn
3. The Magic of Thinking Big – David Schwartz
PGMAG: What is your message for the youth?
LA: My message for our future leaders (youth) are:
You owe it to yourself to become a person of value – don’t leave it to the society and social media.
You must work for what you desire – don’t wait for handouts.
You are your own ‘first cheerleader’ – don’t wait for validation from others before becoming more.
And finally, the elders were there before you arrived, and it will serve you better by recognising their contributions and sacrifices – one day you too will become an elder…
PGMAG: Finally, what would you say to your younger self?
LA: You deserve more than others made you feel. Everything is going to be alright as you fearlessly pursue your purpose. Don’t ignore the pattern in the behaviour of others. And it’s okay to love yourself before others – it’s okay.
PGMAG: As a woman of wisdom and strong sense of owning your voice, we know you have so much to share with the world, but we have come to the end of today’s interview. Thank you for leading this organisation and thank you for time today.
LA: It’s a joy to have been given this privilege – thank you for being part of the team.
