Empowering a brighter, more equitable world.

Because of energy poverty, I’ve started advocating for SDG 7—clean and affordable energy—because it’s the priority we’ve got to nail first.

Energy powers schools so girls can learn. It runs hospitals so mothers survive childbirth. It pumps clean water so families thrive.

When women lead in energy, they’re not just fixing grids; they’re crushing barriers.

I want women in Lagos, Kingston, Nairobi, and Port-au-Prince at the forefront, designing solutions for their communities - Lady B Bless
