Reality Check: 🤯 It’s 2025 and a woman or a girl is being killed every 10 minutes. This is UNACCEPTABLE. Gender-based violence remains pervasive. We call on countries to enforce laws to end violence against women and girls, and hold perpetrators accountable. Learn more ▶️ https://lnkd.in/esnbxzqS #NoExcuse

We condemn the violent crackdown on Butere Girls’ play Echoes of War. Teargassing children. Beating journalists. Arresting artists. This is repression of freedom of expression. https://lnkd.in/dVi5JAGj #ButereGirls #NationalDramaFestivals

I connect research, hands-on practice, and activism to promote human rights, drive social change, and influence policy
I made a TikTok about wanting to work with Tonee Ndungu, and less than a month later, I met him in person. Wild. This was during the first day of the Global AI summit on Africa in Kigali, Rwanda. When I walked up to him, I just wanted to say, “Your brain is amazing! I’ve followed your work since I first heard you on the Financially Incorrect podcast, and I just find you inspiring.” But instead, I asked him something that had been sitting with me for a while: "How do you get taken seriously in trendy, hot topics—especially when you’re driven by curiosity and the need to learn, rather than a clear-cut plan? As a young person, how do you move past the fear of being dismissed as someone who’s just ‘shopping around’ rather than someone with real intent?" His response? Take up space. Talk about it. Express your interest. Show people what you want to do or are doing, and there will always be someone who needs you on their team. So here’s my shot. I am curious about Artificial Intelligence. I am curious about how AI shapes human rights and global power politics. So curious that I have done a few things: ✅ I took an advanced course in AI and Human Rights from Sorbonne Université. ✅ At GforGirls Initiative, we partnered with Nyansapo AI to explore the use of AI in assessing foundational literacy for Grade 4 learners and conducting learning camps to improve their capabilities based on the data. ✅ I am building on research in Feminist AI, looking at how AI systems can be designed with gender equity in mind. Now, I’m looking for short-term and long-term research opportunities in: 🔹 AI & Education 🔹 AI & Human Rights 🔹 AI & Children’s Participation 🔹 Building Unbiased AI Systems If you know of an opportunity or have one, feel free to share in the comments or DM me—I’m always open to new projects! 🚀 Let’s connect. Let’s build. Let’s stay curious. #GlobalAIsummitonAfrica #AI #opportunities

As we continue to scale our AI-driven literacy initiative, we conducted a baseline literacy assessment at Ngathini Primary School, marking the third school of our project implementation. With the support of Nyansapo AI, we engaged Grade 4 learners in evaluating their reading abilities and foundational literacy skills. The use of AI-powered assessments enables us to gather real-time data, identify learning gaps, and tailor interventions that meet the unique needs of each learner. 🔍 Key Insights from Ngathini Primary: ✅ Strengthened our understanding of literacy challenges at the school level ✅ Highlighted the need for personalized interventions to support learners at different competency levels ✅ Reinforced the role of technology in making assessments more efficient and impactful Through this initiative, we are transforming literacy evaluation by moving away from traditional assessment methods and embracing AI-powered solutions that ensure every learner gets the support they need to thrive. With three schools now assessed, we are more committed than ever to bridging the literacy gap and ensuring that every child has access to quality education. #LiteracyMatters #AIinEducation #EdTechForGood #GirlsEducation #KWEMAProject #ClosingTheLiteracyGap #EducationForAll
📚 Scaling AI-Powered Literacy Assessments: Jego Primary Edition! 🚀 Building on the success of our baseline literacy assessment at Kiwegu Primary, we conducted the second phase of assessments at Jego Primary School. This marks another milestone in our partnership with Nyansapo AI, leveraging AI-driven solutions to enhance literacy evaluation and intervention. Using the Nyansapo AI-powered app, we engaged Grade 4 learners to assess their reading abilities and foundational literacy skills. These insights are crucial in shaping learner-centered interventions and ensuring no child is left behind in their education journey. 🔍 Key Learnings from Jego Primary: ✅ Strengthened our ability to pinpoint individual learning gaps ✅ Reinforced the need for customized interventions to support struggling readers ✅ Provided deeper school-specific insights, allowing for targeted literacy support By integrating AI-powered assessments, we are making literacy evaluations more efficient, data-driven, and impactful. This ensures that learners receive the personalized support they need to develop strong reading skills and succeed academically. We’re excited to continue rolling out literacy sessions across our schools of project implementation, bridging the literacy gap and creating sustainable impact. We are grateful to @themastercardfoundation and Nyansapo AI for driving this transformative initiative with us! #LiteracyMatters #AIinEducation #EdTechForGood #GirlsEducation #KWEMAProject #ClosingTheLiteracyGap #EducationForAll #youngafricaworks
🚀 Dream It, Plan It, Achieve It! ✨ We are committed to helping young girls turn their aspirations into reality, and this week’s mentorship session with Grade 7 girls was a powerful step in that journey! 🌟 🌟 The focus? Goal Setting! 🎯 But this wasn’t just a talk—it was a hands-on, practical session where the girls got to write, articulate, and map out their dreams using the SMART Goal Matrix. 📌 Why Goal Setting Matters? 💡 Clarity & Focus – Understanding the power of setting clear, meaningful goals. 📖 SMART Goals Framework – Breaking down dreams into Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, and Time-bound steps. 📝 Actionable Plans – Each girl wrote down her goals and created a roadmap for success! The energy in the room was incredible as the girls confidently shared their aspirations, and embraced the power of intentional planning. By equipping them with these essential skills, we are not just mentoring—we are nurturing future leaders who are ready to take charge of their success! The journey has just begun... #GForGirls #KWEMAProject #MentorshipMatters #GirlsWithDreams #SMARTGoals #EducationForAll #FutureLeaders
