MWIA President Dr. Eleanor Nwadinobi , MWIA Past-President Dr. Gaye Casper and MWAN President Dr. Rosemary Ogu welcomed international CSW 68 delegates to convene on Health Issues in Nigeria including ongoing Child Marriage and FGM. #CSW68 #MWIA

Education is an SDG accelerator that has the potential to jumpstart action on every one of the goals.

The searing feeling of injustice is hard to shake of. If anything, I hope that this referendum has brought Australia’s shameful relationship with First Peoples into sharp focus. We are certainly a nation in desperate need of truth telling. 🙏🏾💔 #Yes23

A simple explainer on #TheVoice referendum I made to help me have conversations with loved ones - sharing here in case it’s helpful for anyone else

Also, I highly recommend Noel Pearson’s NPC address to learn more. Powerful and poetic words.🙏🏾❤️ #yes23
