Very honored and excited to join the Ethiopian Space Science Society Board of Directors as Vice Chairperson. ESSS has always been my home, and I am grateful to be back in an active role to serve my community once more.
As members of the African Women in Space network, moments like these remind us why we show up, not just to attend the conference, but to support, uplift, and co-write Africa's space story.
Grateful. Inspired. And more determined than ever.
πππ One of the most memorable moments at #NewSpaceAfrica 2026 in Libreville, Gabon. πππ
A room full of remarkable African women in space, meeting with H.E. Thandikile Mbvundula (Vice President of the African Space Council).

Earthset.
The Artemis II crew captured this view of an Earthset on April 6, 2026, as they flew around the Moon. The image is reminiscent of the iconic Earthrise image taken by astronaut Bill Anders 58 years earlier as the Apollo 8 crew flew around the Moon.
Liftoff.
The Artemis II mission launched from @NASAKennedy at 6:35pm ET (2235 UTC), propelling four astronauts on a journey around the Moon.
Artemis II will pave the way for future Moon landings, as well as the next giant leap β astronauts on Mars.
The Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam is a bold affirmation of Africaβs ability to marshal its own resources and shape its destiny. Funded entirely by the Ethiopian people, it is more than an infrastructure project; it is Africaβs largest hydropower facility, with an estimated capacity of 6,450 megawatts, and a continental symbol of self-reliance and progress.
For Kenya, it offers immense promise. We are ready to sign a power purchase agreement with Ethiopia to offtake surplus electricity to power our industries, ICT hubs, manufacturing, and agro-processing, while strengthening competitiveness, creating jobs, and driving sustainable growth.
No nation should be denied the chance to build such transformative assets because, with time, they become shared sources of prosperity.
Yet, even as we celebrate, we remain mindful of differing perspectives among Nile Basin countries. Kenya reaffirms its support for equitable use of shared waters and urges Ethiopia, Egypt, and Sudan to continue pursuing trilateral talks in good faith. Dialogue and compromise remain the surest path to a fair agreement that safeguards prosperity and stability for all.
Honoured to join fellow leaders in witnessing the historic inauguration of the Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam at Benishangul-Gumuz Region. Congratulations to Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed and the Ethiopian people on this remarkable achievement.
With us were Presidents @IsmailOguelleh (Djibouti), @HassanSMohamud (Somalia), Salva Kiir Mayardit (South Sudan), Barbados Prime Minister @miaamormottley, Prime Minister of Eswatini Russell Mmiso Dlamini and Africa Union Commission Chair Mahmoud Ali Youssouf.
