REPOST
I am truly honored and grateful for the opportunity to speak during Engineers Week at Malawi University of Business and Applied Science ()
Recently, I had the privilege of sharing my thoughts on gender in innovation, a topic that is very close to my heart.
Innovation is not reserved for one gender. It is a space where both men and women must rise, contribute, and lead. Because when we include diverse voices, we create solutions that are not only innovative—but impactful and inclusive.
For a long time, many young girls have been made to believe that innovation, science, and engineering are not for them. But today, we are changing that narrative. We are creating spaces where every young person—regardless of gender can dream, create, and lead.
But this doesn’t happen on its own.
It requires:
Access to education, mentorship, equal opportunities, and the courage to challenge stereotypes.
As young people, we must step up—not just as participants, but as innovators. Because the future of our country depends on the ideas we are bold enough to bring to life.
Innovation has the power to transform our nation—from improving healthcare, to creating jobs, to solving real community challenges.
And when both men and women are equally involved, that transformation becomes even stronger.
Let us build, let us innovate, and let us shape a future that includes us all.
Thank you once again for the opportunity.
