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

I was on BBC News Africa where I discussed Alitheia IDF (AIF)'s close at $100m and our proactive approach to investing in African women-led or women-serving SMEs to achieve solid financial returns and social impact for communities in Africa. Listen to the interview with Audrey Brown here:

“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 @TutuLegacy send our deepest condolences to Mama Leah and the Tutu family on the death of our beloved DesmondTutu Official We are devastated that the Arch is no longer with us, but his passing has strengthened our resolve to spread his warmth and compassion even further afield.

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
