The African Women’s Leadership Institute (AWLI) changed my life!
It is amazing to hear the stories
of the different young women who have undertaken the AWLI (run by Akina Mama wa Afrika) and how it has
impacted their personal and professional growth through the years. The
profoundness and vivid memories of the AWLI as narrated by the alumni
demonstrate the AWLI is a unique and exciting experience.
And today we would like bring you
the video clip of Bose Ironsi the Executive Director of Women’s Rights Health
Project in Nigeria who shares her AWLI experience and how it transformed her
life as an alumnus of 2002 in Accra Ghana that was taken by an AWDF team doing
site visits in Nigeria.
In this video Bose attributes her
work today to the impact of the AWLI citing how the AWLI ignited the passion for
her work today. Through the AWLI she gained a conviction and was able to
envision her future. She tells of the support network of friends that she met
during the AWLI and how they have supported each other to this day.
AKina Mama wa Afrika (AMwA) is one of the four partner institutes of the African Centers of Excellence (ACE) for Women's Leadership program run by the Institute of International Education (IIE) , Ethiopia Office.
