Goodbye good people of Kenya whom we had the deep pleasure to meeting! .@hope2shine folks @KennedyOdede , @JessRPosner and their fabulous teams across the education, health, livelihood support, micro-finance, agriculture, Gender & SUN are truly exceptional!✍🏾
Goodbye to my 🔥🔥🔥 Kenyan women who give all to running things so productively @hope2shine with @KennedyOdede and @JessRPosner and the beneficiaries whose economic power is reflecting in their Voice. I felt glad to say to that seller, “take my money”🤩✍🏾
Great to see you @Guillaum_Grosso and to celebrate the expansion of @girleffect and @Gavi partnership and very important work together. Thanks for having me!
Many thanks @JessRPosner for attending the Global Vaccine Conference! @Gavi is proud to work with @girleffect to tackle gender barriers and misinformation to encourage uptake of life-saving vaccines including #HPV. #GenerationImmunity
I tell the story of a kid born to a teen mom who didn't attend real school and lived on the streets--and used his knowledge to start a bottom-up development organization called @hope2shine that now is one of the biggest grassroots movements in Africa. Lessons for the US as well.
Overcoming poverty is hard, whether in Nairobi or Los Angeles, but visit the gritty Kibera slum in Kenya and you find some lessons for all the world--and cause for sober reflection. Also, for those who think my columns are depressing, a ton of hope! https://t.co/AnVzdV82oa

10+ years ago, we shared “The Clock is Ticking.” Fast-forward to today, and the clock is STILL ticking. The time to act is now.
We need to empower girls to unlock their power

Closing the global #vaccinequity gap for #HPV has to rate as one of the highest priorities in immunization today. Proud of @Gavi’s partnership with @girleffect to protect girls in Tanzania and Ethiopia against the leading cause of #cervicalcancer:
