The star took to Instagram to gush about her big win, telling fans the award reminded her of her true purpose in life.

“Honoured is an understatement. Being recognised globally as a woman of excellence and for my work in women empowerment is truly the confirmation I needed in my calling and purpose in leaving a legacy.” Nambitha wrote.

She dedicated the award to her family.

“Mama gave birth and raised a Woman of Wonder and daddy stays in awe of her. This win goes out to my family. The reason I am who I am today,” said Nambitha.
