Moreover to provide insight on possible challenges, triumphs and experiences they will most likely encounter as aspiring business women.

  1. Your writing exhibits qualities of a good journalist but I want more. This is a feature and when writing feature stories, you have to use words to paint a picture in the reader's mind. The photos are there but cannot speak to me. they need to be assisted in departing the message by a good writing style. That is the art of journalism and once you can master that, you'll be unstoppable. Firstly, you have to identify your writing: is it descriptive, analytical, objective or sensational and only then will you know how to impart the message. Good work nontheless
