Applications for the WomenLift Health 2027 Eastern Africa Leadership Journey are in their final stretchโand if you have been drafting, doubting, editing and wondering whether you are โready enough,โ take some encouragement from South Sudanese WomenLift Health alumna Dr. Idyoro Ikarak, who shared this message during our Science, Women & Leadership Symposium 2026:
๐ Apply even when you are unsure, check out the application link and portal here: https://www.womenlifthealth.org/2027-eastern-africa-leadership-journey/
Dr. Idyoro Ikarak reflection was a reminder that you do not need to have everything figured out before putting yourself forward. Be clear about what you care about, the impact you want to make, and the leadership journey you want to pursue.
WomenLift Health itself emphasizes that your application should be specific, contextualized and rooted in your own work, experience and goalsโso as you make those final edits, let your own leadership story come through.
โจ Donโt self-select out. Finish it. Submit it. Give yourself the opportunity to be considered.
Feel free to reach out to some of the South Sudan WomenLift Health alumni tagged Ayan Ajuoi Magot Lucy Theophilus Adut Jervase Buchay Ajack Florence Alibeb for support.
๐ธ๐ธ We hope to see even more South Sudanese women leaders represented in the 2027 cohort.
