Thank you for giving girls like me an opportunity to not only share our stories but platforms to contribute in building societies where young people can dream.For inspiring the hope to strive 2wards creating an Africa we can all be proud of. You are a role model & an inspiration!
At the Women’s World Cup, we saw how sports can inspire and elevate us all. Thuba Sibanda is an @ObamaFoundation leader who uses sports to empower girls in Namibia every day. You can support leaders like Thuba through the @GirlsAlliance, and I hope you do: https://t.co/uAJh9LbSW0

Whatever the instrument of choice. Whatever the medium of passion. Whatever the message, the dialogues, the spaces we choose to take up. This is "we". It's a collective narrative, and a unified purpose. Happy International Women's Day 2022.

To my brother who taught me to take up space on fields, society had told me i didnt belong to. To the boy that introduced me to the ball and told me we were equal. To the man you were, way ahead of your years. Thank you for accepting me and seeing me for who I was. ❤*29Nov05*
