Get set for an enlightening discourse on Reflo’s TV where Reflo’s Ms. Candid, Reflo’s Church Girl, Reflo’s Barbie, Reflo’s Womanist, and Reflo’s Maverick will unravel the myths surrounding “Women Bosses” in contemporary workplaces.

Reflo’s Ms. Candid leads the conversation this week, highlighting the power of empowerment inherent in everyone. She challenges misconceptions about women bosses, emphasising that aggression, rudeness, selfishness, and bossiness don’t define a woman boss. Recognising exceptional women leaders, including herself and the Managing Director of Reflo Company Limited, she advocates for support and inspiration among women in leadership roles.

Reflo’s Church Girl challenges gender-based stereotypes in leadership. Advocating for a shift away from attaching sexist labels to women bosses, she stresses the need to view competence and effectiveness as the primary criteria for evaluating leadership. Her message resonates with the call to discard outdated attitudes and acknowledge women bosses for their skills and capabilities.

Reflo’s Womanist tackles the question of whether women bosses pose a threat or inspiration to others. She highlights the natural emotional inclinations of women, which are often misconstrued as hindrances to leadership. She asserts that a leader’s personality and the results of their work should be the focal points of evaluation, dismissing unfounded concerns about emotional intelligence.

Reflo’s Barbie celebrates the evolving roles of women, debunking the traditional notion of women confined to the kitchen. While acknowledging some women’s negative attitudes, she urges a positive change in perceptions, championing women as the future and advocating for the eradication of detrimental mindsets about women bosses.

Reflo’s Maverick encourages women to pursue leadership without letting gender be a hindrance. Encouraging an environment of support and growth, she lauds the conducive atmosphere cultivated by Reflo Company’s Managing Director and calls for an end to petty jealousies.

Reflo Company Ltd, in partnership with The Florence Mensah Foundation, has officially completed its landmark “Helping 1000 Girls to Embrace Their Flow” initiative, with the final round of sanitary pad distributions carried out in schools in Ashaiman, Nima and Assin Ochiso to commemorate Menstrual Hygiene Day 2025.

Launched in March 2024, the project was a bold commitment to support 1,000 deprived girls with a full year’s supply of high-quality sanitary pads and menstrual health education. One year on, the goal has been achieved — with 1,000 girls now better equipped to manage their menstrual health with dignity and confidence.

Beneficiaries of the project spanned across key communities and schools, including: Assin Ochiso D/A Basic School, Assin Ochiso Heritage Academy, Assin Hasowode D/A Basic School, Kedzi Havedzi A.M.E. Zion Basic School (Volta Region), Ashaiman No. 5B Basic School, Ashaiman No. 4 JHS and Nima Basic School.

The impact of the project extended far beyond distributing sanitary pads. Through school engagements, open conversations and hands-on educational sessions, the Foundation addressed long-standing stigma, corrected misconceptions and empowered young girls to approach their menstrual cycles with confidence, pride and self-assurance.

At the closing ceremony, Ms. Rebecca Osam, CEO of Reflo Company Ltd., remarked:

“Today, as we close this chapter, we are not just ending a project. We are celebrating a milestone — one that signifies progress, sparks awareness, inspires dialogue and lays the foundation for lasting change. To our brilliant young girls, you are strong, you are capable and you are unstoppable. And to everyone gathered here, let us not stop here. Let us continue to support, educate and build a community where our girls can thrive without fear, shame or judgment.”

With the “1000 Girls” project now complete, both Reflo Company Ltd and The Florence Mensah Foundation are urging government agencies, corporate organisations, NGOs and development partners to help scale the initiative nationally, reaching more underserved girls in vulnerable communities.

The success of this project is not just a milestone — it’s a call to action. A call to invest in menstrual equity. A call to shape a future where no girl’s education or dignity is compromised by her period.
