Tell us briefly why you are passionate about being involved with SheDecides?
"Each society is faced with problems that require the primary involvement of its inhabitants. Community leaders must find their role in helping their community become conscious of the issues that women and girls face. In the future I want to be remembered as a player who changed the world by helping her country realise the importance of empowering women and girls. It will be said that she was leader of SheDecides, and a 25x25 for real."
