Farida Bedwei, a celebrated software engineer from Ghana, is proof of that. Cerebral palsy is an incurable neurological disorder that affects body movement and muscle coordination but does not interfere with the ability to learn. Bedwei did not let this stand in her way and today she is the co-founder and chief technical officer of Logiciel, a software company. She is also considered one of the most powerful women in financial technology on the continent.
