One of my primary interests lies in gender economics and the increasingly beneficial role women can and will continue to play in economic development all over the world - particularly in the African continent. The most exciting part of the “Africa is rising” narrative we often hear (and I am wholeheartedly behind) is that we live in a time where women can and are forming part of that story, consciously and unconsciously. Through my various employment, academic and volunteering opportunities I have committed myself to portraying women, particularly African women in a light that reflects their hard work and entrepreneurial spirit, despite certain odds that may be posed against them. My goal is to amplify the impact these women are making, and be part of Africa’s promising growth story.
