Our Strategy
Programs that foster strong professional relationships among women.
​

Preparing a strong pan-African network of women thought leaders.
​
​Advancing gender equality and leadership across the legal professions.
The Motivation
In 1995, I walked into a hair salon in Accra, Ghana. As I waited for my turn, I flipped through the rugged and torn magazines on a table nearby. Amongst the magazines was an Ebony magazine. That edition had a section highlighting the twenty most influential black people under the age of thirty. My eyes were drawn to one young lady named Nanette Graham, 29 years old, with a Ph.D. in Criminology and Assistant Professor at the University of Nebraska at that time.
​
​
Early interventions through structured mentorship can transform the lives and leadership potential of young girls and women.
