One of the most important skills as you get older is how to best protect your time.

Lost money can be found. Lost time is lost forever. Protect what matters most.

"Sometimes I feel like our faith is slipping away, but then I look at movements and organizers and young people who are still doing beautiful, powerful work," said Black Feminist Fund (BFF) co-founder Tynesha McHarris at the TIME100 Philanthropy Impact Dinner.

I just saw this small but very vital handbook at a clinic. We saw what the paediatric protocol did to reduce infant mortality. Kudos to the team @MOH_Kenya @TheKOGSociety and the rest.
It was long over
