“I am honored to be part of this giving community, especially given our family's dedication to the advancement of women who will become leaders and innovators in their local and global communities. I have been so fortunate to be surrounded by confident, intelligent, and creative women who value their contributions to society and serve as changemakers in their respective industries. My hope is that reliable, consistent giving can support this organization’s strategic planning and growth, directly translating to increased access and opportunities for women's development and promotion, and ultimately the spaces and places they influence around them.”

"If the past 18 months have shown us anything, it's that we need a fresh generation of leaders. To thrive, the world will need to address the impacts of pandemics, climate change and inequality and more. These challenges are felt even more keenly in East Africa - so why shouldn't the leadership we need to tackle these obstacles arise from here? Davis College and Akilah are doing vital work in equipping young leaders from across the region to step up and help tackle these challenges (and opportunities!) - and it's a pleasure to support them in this mission.”

“I am deeply passionate about this mission because I believe education to be a gateway for freedom and independence for women. It is critical, and can change the trajectory of our future. A world with more soft skills such as compassion, empathy, creativity, community and understanding. This is essential at this time in our history. By keeping my intention set on giving each month, I get to be in the close energy of giving all the time. I believe this has a ripple effect of keeping giving in my heart, which extends to all I do with intention.”
