To every patriot and every seeker of history in our country who came to watch our amazing masterpiece and made it a success in any way, we'd love to THANK YOU!!
We could've never have done this without you all. Wherever you are, keep the spirit of Mboya alive!
We learned a lot at today's #UNCSC session Successes and Barriers of Meaningful Youth Engagement: From ECOSOC Youth Forum to the Summit of the Future and Social Summit.
Thank you to @felipepaullier and the @UNYouthAffairs team for supporting our new Emerging Leaders Program!
I was immensely proud of the ambition, unity, and sisterhood displayed by the #AmujaeLeaders throughout the @EJSCenter's Amujae High-Level Leadership Forum in #Kigali, Rwanda. Every leader's journey is unique, but I was struck by how much these leaders have in common—from the challenges they have overcome to their commitment to delivering positive change across the African continent.
Things we want to see more of in 2024:
💰 Funding for youth advocates and youth-led organizations
🎤 Paid speaking opportunities for youth experts
🧑⚖️ Youth at decision-making tables (to be truly heard, not tokenized)
🤝 Co-creating and co-leading with young leaders

This week, President @BarackObama had the opportunity to engage with #ObamaLeaders for all cohorts to discuss the unique challenges they are facing and the ways they plan to advance their work going forward.

Two weeks ago, the first edition of Fiscally Fit was launched by @ChikiKuruka and myself. The program aims to create opportunities for women to elevate their finances, fitness, and wellness, as well as network with other brilliant women. 1/3
On #MoneyMonday, we discussed ageism in the workplace. This is belittling/underpaying young people, denying jobs to older people due to the perception of 'you're too old'. Movers shared experiences, here's a snippet. 1/4
Your thoughts on ageism at work?
