" I am very passionate about girl child empowerment. I believe that there is so much potential in the girl child and with the right kind of mentorship, resources and efforts, girls can do so much more than the world ever expects. I am where I am today because I had mentors who believed in me and in my dreams and aspirations and I wanna be the person who believes in the dreams and talents of those young girls and ensure they become who they have always wanted to be. With help from the Millennium Fellowship, this will help inculcate the necessary leadership skills and the know-how to hone my passion to advance sustainable development especially SG 3 on Good Health and Wellbeing.
