The 7 years I spent at AWDF were incredible! I learnt a lot, and enjoyed the work I did communicating the work of the African women’s movement. I was inspired by sisters, colleagues, aunties and the ‘Big Mamas’ in the movement. I travelled throughout the continent and saw and felt with my own two eyes the work that countless African women do to support themselves, their families and communities. It has been a privilege serving the movement. Congratulations AWDF on your 15th anniversary. Here is to the next 15. May it be fuelled with passion, drive and SIGNIFICANT new funding and resources.
