It's incredible she was able to organize and pull that off. Exceptional leadership there.

Dear Lydia, this was awesome to learn about. I've also done some research recently, and women do quite belong in leadership positions. There'll always be exceptions, but as a whole, benefits tend to include more consistent policy implementation, better risk management, broader use of expert advice, lower tolerance for corruption, longer-term planning... it's already happening all over the world today!! And I feel the evolution has only just begun.

That's really cool to know about women in leadership, thank you reading and commenting Gustave! I'm glad you got to learn about Leymah, she is really cool.

I learned about Rwanda now having the most women in leadership positions globally one day through the Kinnu learning app, then searched deeper from there. ❤️ And Leymah's a bad ass!! I'm so glad you shared that. Plus, my mother's an award winning leadership trainer who's made life better for employees around the world. And she's nutty, so I could just imagine what other women can achieve from the start.

That is awesome! I love how you explored the idea further. Plus having a role model as a parent, someone you respect is wonderful!! I never got that, unfortunately, but I hope to become someone like that for my kids l🙏
