As I listened at our business Zoom meeting, I knew we were meant to collaborate.
Bongai Mhloyi is from Zimbabwe. She is the voice for at-risk girls. She spoke of a horrific situation where once girls hit puberty, they can be sold like cows and forced to marry old men, so their family can survive.
But an angel named Bongai knows how this affects a girl’s self-worth, health, and wellbeing. She knew the solution was education. She formed the American and African Youth Leadership Foundation nonprofit to pave the way for every girl to stay in school, get an education, and follow her dreams to become a teacher, nurse, social worker, wherever her passion leads her.
I’m honored and proud to be a small part of the solution. Bongai’s cause is growing, and you want to be part of such a heart-felt movement.
