Happy International #WomensDay

To every single woman — Happy #IWD26 🌸 What an incredible blessing it is to be a woman. With all the challenges and vulnerabilities that come with it, we are still called to show up fully. Often, we are not only solving the problems of the world, but carrying the weight of it all — many times quietly, and sometimes while being overlooked. So many capable women wrestle with self-doubt. Near misses. Opportunities we thought we had but slipped away. Moments of trying to fit in while feeling completely out of place. And yet, look at us. When we look back, we realize just how far we have come. Today, women are occupying tables and rooms we once could only dream about. Are we fully there? Not yet. Are we equally represented? Not yet. But you — yes, you — are the woman inspiring the next generation of girls. Girls who will one day speak about the doors you opened for them, even if you don’t realize it yet. May the confidence of Wangu wa Makeri, the eloquence of Maya Angelou, the courage of ...

Esther Njeri Mwangi Aiesec USIU Nairobi, Kenya       Project-EduAction, Porto Alegre Brasil 2012 1 st of March, 2012, at 6pm, I arrive in Sao Paulo for my Internship with EduAction (Gerdau)/AIESEC. I was among the last trainee to arrive at the hostel. We had the training workshops on 2 nd and 3 rd of March which took place in Sao Paulo, where we met our other colleagues who are now working in other cities of Brazil. The workshops were meant to help us get to know more about Gerdau, EduAction, and Aiesec Brazil.

A big number of the Education team, carrying the Brazilian flag, Education and Aiesec banners; waiting for us at the arrivals, perfect first impression. I then knew I will have a great time here. The trainee house just made my first night, beautiful with our flags hang next to the dining table and everything else neat...

Disability Employment Awareness Month- Let's chat!

Hello, October is not only my birthday month, it is also a special month dedicated to advocating for disability employment awareness and the need to provide inclusive workspaces and sensitize employees on being patient and accommodating without prejudice and ableism practices. In short, this month is dedicated to fostering an inclusive work environment that values the skills and talents of individuals with disabilities. I don't think this is a coincidence, I believe I have been called to be a disability inclusion advocate. 15% of the global population has some form of disability, which makes about 220 million Africans with disabilities ( World Bank ). While there has been some progress, we are still far from fulfilling what we are all called to achieve by Goal 10 of the Sustainable Development Goals ( SDG ) and the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities which all focus on ensuring equal opportunity and reduced inequalities for all. It is vital to reflect on ways w...
