Little snap from yesterday’s keynote at HCSA’s annual conference. Talking leadership through change and life lessons learnt along the way!

These excerpts are from The Economist’s most recent piece on #Sudan. It goes to show how dire the situation is that I am grateful for every scrap of media our country is able to get.

It is one thing to suspect your people do not matter, another to live it, to be reminded of it, to see it in the faces of those who ask ‘how your year has been’. Do you mention the war, the devastation, your grief? Or do you smile, say fine, talk about the weather?

Do you know how wild it is to mourn a country beset by what is being labelled ‘a forgotten war’? The war is not over and yet it is already forgotten, such is the value of Sudanese life in the international arena.

What a CHANGE!! So DIVERSE! So INCLUSIVE! So JUST! So OPEN! Well, with the best of the best like these, the Global Majority (women and people of colour) will be so looked after, so fine. 😁 Mashallah!

Pretty sure when my book (Stand up and speak out against racism) comes out in the US September, it’ll be banned by these states… and that makes me quite sad bc the ppl would enjoy it im sure!
