Today we celebrate the #MalkiaMentors. This is a group of women who've broke the glass ceilings and build the pedestals that they stand on. They not only are succeeding in their careers and education but they continue consistently finding time to mentor and mould the young girls.
and that's what sets them apart. We celebrate you today. Happy international women's day #balance4better #MalkiaMentors #TeamMalkia #MakinglivesCount ... See more

I can’t believe it is one year already since becoming a #MalkiaMentor. When I first saw the advert for the application to become a mentor, my first thought was, will I be able to deliver and guide the girls in the correct path.
For me a mentor is someone who is supposed to guide you on the steps to take so as to achieve your dreams and not one who will change your dreams to suit theirs. Not one who will hold your hand and walk with you like a child but one who will walk ahead of you and direct you and will also challenge you. This is one of the things that I hope to do for the “queens”.
My experience so far has been one of discovery and appreciation. My first year was one of learning and now forging forward, I hope to effectively offer even better service. #MalkiaMentor #InspireEmpowerTransform #1yeardown #MakinglivesCont ... See more

We are at 10, we are winning! Nevada just added to the list, by getting rid of "tampon tax" #Menstruationmatters #BePeriodPositive

Advocates argued that the sales tax on tampons and pads was unfair to women.

We had an amazing afternoon yesterday. We screened #EnkirotetOlosho a new Menstrual Hygiene Management series at New Pumwani primary school in Eastleigh, Nairobi County. It was an honour to have in our midst MacKenzie Bills, the Lead coordinator of the Civic leadership track of the Mandela Washington fellowship. Special thanks to Real relief for donating reusable towels for the girls.
