Shudufhadzo took to Instagram to share with her followers what this award means to her. She said:

"I’ve always been a person of very few words because I had always been the girl at the back of the class hiding and never wanting to be seen. Answering my calling to be of service to both my village and humanity has led me here to be a mental health advocate."

She thanked her fellow nominees who have been changing the game in their respective ways and congratulated all the other Glamour Women of the Year winners. Shudufadzo also gave her supporters a special mention in her moving post.

"Thank you for always seeing me, hearing me, and in as much as every Monday was spent with me trying to remind you that you’re not alone and that it’s okay not to be okay , thank you for showing me that this girl that considered herself a loner is no longer a loner. I am now part of a bigger community geared towards change and a better world."
