We filmed a documentary on the most successful African soccer team of all time… the Nigerian Super Falcons.

The reason for their rise? @AsisatOshoala, @alozieee, and @Rasheedatt10 have formed a giant.

“The African Giant” is not just a sports documentary; it’s a story of community, a celebration of Africa and a statement about who is changing the world of soccer on the global scale.

@_saadshafqat That looks so interesting. Adding it to my reading list 🗒️🖋️

Every 10 minutes, a woman is killed. That’s why during this #16Days of activism against #GBV, I’m resharing this article on #femicide and #adolescenthealth. Replace “Covid-19” with “climate change,” “conflict,” etc. and the story has sadly not improved: https://t.co/8UcvYCHlRN

just watched an NBC meteorologist cry on air talking about how terrifying Hurricane Milton is & then the next thing I saw was a woman in the evacuation zone saying she has literally nowhere to go — all the hotels are booked & she doesn’t have a lot of money & has 4 dogs/6 kids.

[Erin Hohlfelder @Global_ErinH]

Absolutely devastated by the high profile string of femicides in Kenya, mirrored in visible and invisible ways all around the world. May Rebecca’s story—and the activism of so many women pushing to end this scourge—motivate us to keep fighting 💔

The value that women bring to research is immense. From closing gender gaps to pioneering new technologies, women are driving the future.

@axios explores how including women is about more than representation—it's about expanding perspectives.

New breakthrough in health: Therapeutic vaccines that can treat #HPV after infection are in clinical trials. These could be a gamechanger, saving hundreds of thousands of lives that would otherwise be lost to #cervicalcancer. Read more: https://t.co/2B1IU7fhN3

Sometimes it’s not about reinventing the wheel but reimagining it.

I saw this firsthand at @UNICEFSupply’s Innovation Room—AKA one of the coolest places I’ve visited recently!

Last year, the @gatesfoundation spoke to >200K women in Kenya & Nigeria about their greatest economic ambition: to own a business.

There’s a $1.7 trillion gap between the credit women need and what they can get.

Ahead of the @WorldBank and @IMFNews Spring Meetings, I wrote about the steps leaders can take to help close financing gaps and build women's economic power. https://t.co/7oT7zbQsYa

@lizzientonjira @womenlifthealth Congratulations! It was an empowering and insightful 3 days. I hope you're beaming with pride🌟

Men & women are equally likely to suffer heart attacks, but women are more likely to die.

Why?

This article does an excellent job of explaining how neglecting women in medical research plays out. It’s deadly.

It’s been a masterclass of engaging head and heart of the audience. Using anecdotes to make points memorable & relatable. Speaking with audiences - not at them. Embracing their passion and emotion - so people are feeling enthusiastic/happy/angry/sad/proud right alongside them.

Comms nerd observation - many people here have mentioned authenticity, empathy, humility as key for transformative leadership. Every woman leader at #wlhgc2024 is walking the talk. Sharing their personalities stories and prof experience, and shouting out mentors and mentees.
