@officialKWAME you claim that you can see how a white woman speaking on Beauty standards in a predominantly black nation like Ghana would be triggering for women of color but you seem to have a problem with a woman pointing out why it’s triggering? Interesting...
"It is dangerous to limit Gender Advocacy to a set of humanitarian projects without also addressing the mindsets that shape these realities."

It's been a year of learning the words to describe the issues we face each day and finding the courage to speak those words out loud...proudly....and consistently.
It's been a year of being the voice for women who need it but don't have anyone to speak for them.
It's been a year of building bridges and networks across Africa...and beyond.
It's been a year of putting our money and physical effort where our mouths are...and making a difference in the lives of the vulnerable.
It's been a year of sisterhood and family beyond bloodlines.
It's been a year of asking critical difficult questions.
It's been a year of taking difficult stances.
It's been a year of being the subject of vitriol and cyber-bullying and crazy accusations.
It's been a year of finding allies and support in places I never thought possible.
