I have heard and read about black strong women all over the globe but meeting Ambassador Linda Thomas Greenfield-Field, Resident Senior State Department Fellow, Former U.S Assistant Secretary for African Affairs.
When this woman talks, she talks about Presidents, not ministers, not subordinates. Presidents and her relationship with them. She said ” Ask me any questions and I will try my best to answer”. She said that to representatives of 17 African countries she has had to work with or work in at one point or the other!!!
We learnt a lot from this great woman!!! A whole lot!!!
Guess what the coolest thing is? She is Nigerian, and Yoruba by birth and called me “My sister”.
It was a huge honor to meet you Ambassador!!!
When I grow up I wanna be like you
Dear Lord… I wanna speak Presidents, am tired of speaking Directors ooooo!!!
But am certain my future is looking great too cos I believe future Presidents are in the room with me
