✨ We’re #AllIn 💜 Proud to be involved with @WesternU’s campaign on optimizing health for all. Grateful to do work I love, advancing frugal innovations built with communities, not for them. Watch: youtu.be/UXi2ghu4r0k?... This is what impact looks like. 🌍

On my birthday, I’m reflecting on the heroes who shaped me — my father delivering healthcare to remote communities and my mother empowering young people through education. Their example fuels my purpose. Watch Western’s #AllIn campaign to hear more. #WomensMonth

“Africa’s future isn’t a funding crisis —it’s an investment opportunity.” At #HLPF2025, Uganda led a powerful call for bold, Africa-owned finance, innovation, & STEM to drive the #SDGs. Business-as-usual won’t work—Africa’s time is now. #AfricaInvestment #2030Agenda

Gender equality is a life course issue. From pay gaps in youth to caregiving burdens in old age, inequalities stack up over time. At #HLPF2025, we were reminded: to advance #SDG5, we must act across every stage of a woman’s life. #GenderEquality #UNSDGs

🚨 Not a single #SDG3 target is on track—but this is our wake-up call. With bold leadership, inclusive innovation & integrated action, we can course-correct. Health must be our foundation, not just our goal.💡🌍 #HLPF2025 #GlobalGoals #UHC @ESDC_GC

“We cannot continue with the status quo.” At #HLPF2025, only 37% of #SDGs are on track. Urgent action, real inclusion & localized innovation are critical.
