Women everywhere are speaking up against various issues affecting them and it’s about time we start to listen to what they are saying and actually DO something about it.

My summer vacation has come to an end, I am writing from the heart of Africa, the Democratic Republic of Congo and the year 2020 is on the horizon. What a time. A time for reflection.

In line with that here are a few lessons I have learned over the past six months that I hope can help you also evaluate and restructure the work you do.
