Oil companies “shifted the guilt to people,” says Richard Wiles, head of @climatecosts. “Climate change is not a tragedy – it’s a crime that’s been forced upon [people] by the oil companies, who knew their products were going to do this and went ahead and lied about it anyway.”
Such a moving open ceremony in Kigali last week. Women leading in all realms makes such a difference for all. Thank you all for your leadership and grace.
Rwanda is the highest-scoring African country in closing the gender gap with Namibia a close second. Hosting @WomenDeliver in Kigali was the perfect choice and I am grateful to my sister and friend, @FirstLadyRwanda, and @RwandaGov, for the invitation and exceptional hospitality.
Reading @RebeccaSolnit's "Hope in the Dark" completely reframed my understanding of activism and social change. Now, when it's so easy to feel despondent, I'd recommend it more than ever.
