PALAPYE: The First Lady Neo 'Mma Atsile' Masisi descended on Palapye on Tuesday with a cheerful face as she stepped into her First Lady shoes with the launch of a girls summit. It was held under the banner #BreakingBarriers.

The closed meeting with the girls was organised in partnership with the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA).  About 100 schoolgirls from various secondary schools in Palapye and surrounding areas attended the event.  The summit was the first of many that would be held across the country.

The apt and candid adolescent girls that gallantly led the inspiring summit and their talented colleagues that entertained at the event swept the First Lady off her feet.  Masisi did not hold back, she swayed along with the schoolgirls when she took to the podium for her address.
