Congratulations #Botswana🇧🇼 for this accomplishment towards eliminating mother-to-child HIV transmission! This groundbreaking milestone shows that an AIDS-free generation is possible. I look forward to other African countries also reaching this goal.

Another major deal by a female-led African startup. The round, led by Target, is the largest pre-seed in that category and in edtech. On a side note: Edukoya CEO Honey Ogundeyi founded one of Nigeria's earliest female-led startups (Fashpa) in 2014. tcrn.ch/329sGk4

“Discovering more joy does not, I’m sorry to say, save us from the inevitability of hardship and heartbreak. In fact, we may cry more easily, but we will laugh more easily, too. Perhaps we are just more alive.” DesmondTutu Official (1931 - 2021) #archbishop #Desmond #Tutu

“Yet as we discover more joy, we can face suffering in a way that #ennobles rather than embitters. We have hardship without becoming hard. We have #heartbreak without being broken.” Archbishop Desmond Tutu (1931 - 2021). #celebrate #love

The #Arch served as a #moral #compass for many of us, without holding back. May his fire of #righteous, relentless call to #action, love of life, #laughter and #dance live on in our souls. #DesmondTutu

What a legend. And a rare individual who left me speechless when we met in Cape Town in 2012. Will always remember his quest for truth, justice & dignity, resilience, ability to connect & empathize with so many & that disarming grin. RIP #DesmondTutu #ArchbishopTutu
