COVID-19 has threatened women’s rights and health in unprecedented ways. At the same time, women remain vastly underrepresented in global health leadership. Centering the perspectives of rising women leaders is key to building a more equitable world as we respond to and rebuild from the pandemic. Join Global Health Corps and African Feminism's Lead Editor Rosebell Kagumire for a story salon featuring young women from East Africa, Southern Africa, and the U.S. who are redefining leadership — not only fighting for a seat at the table, but building an entirely new table. How did they discover the power of storytelling and hone their own stories to catalyze change? What is their vision for a more equitable future? In what ways are they challenging the status quo to make that vision reality? Come listen, learn, and be inspired.
