I’m going to pin this tweet for all the serious UN folks following me. I love it. Trust me, I love it. It feeds well into my need for validation. Problem is, I don’t always tweet UN. I mostly rant about Nigeria and how it is showing me shege. Ask me what shege means 😀

Exciting conversation with @UNCDF, Ariel Foods, and the Office of the VP 🇳🇬. We unpacked how innovative public–private partnerships can tackle malnutrition while fueling local economies. Great to hear how Nigeria is creating a thriving environment for this to incubate.
