[Mandy Van Deven @mandyvandeven]

I always say that the only way we will create systemic change is by doing the work to change the systems through which we and our institutions operate — and that includes finance, legal, and operations. So, I'm excited to jump into this session at #NextFrontiers.

[Mandy Van Deven @mandyvandeven]

“How do we shake ourselves out of the stuckness that we’re in? We need to break up with our most deeply held narrative — scarcity — which is the operating story in our practices, policies, and relationships.” @DimpleAtweets

"Decentre yourself, and centre those you exist to serve". Powerful words from our @BoiModungwa published with @fenomenalfunds and @FRIDAfund in Alliance this week on Decolonising Knowledge in Philanthropy. This is essential reading!! 🔗 https://t.co/10uPyu1p5c

[WeArePurposeful @Purposeful_org]

Our work shows us that wherever there is resistance, there are girls. In learning from & spotlighting the power of girls’ activism, we build girls' power & produce insights that contribute to the transformation of girls’ lives. Just witnessed with girl-led groups in Malawi🧡 🧡

[WeArePurposeful @Purposeful_org]

Our learning work isn't simply a tool to document the journey, but critical to the journey itself. Time in Malawi immersed in the amazing work of girl-led groups is an incredible reminder of valuing girls as experts & knowledge holders & for every girl's voice to be heard 🫶🏽

[WeArePurposeful @Purposeful_org]

Naming the radical roots of #InternationDayoftheAfricanChild is to honour the strategy, tactics, visions and sacrifices of youth led movements across the Continent right now and throughout history. May we not allow ourselves to not see, to not remember. Amandla!!
