“We chose Impacting Humanity Over Changing Curtains” — These were the powerful words shared by the First Lady of Sierra Leone as she took part in Day One of the First Partners Global Academy held at the prestigious Ford Foundation on July 8, 2025.
The event, organized by the Global First Ladies Alliance (GFLA), brought together First Ladies and First Partners from around the world to engage in high-level discourse aimed at shaping national and global development through strategic leadership. GFLA, known for its mission to empower First Partners with tools, training, and strategic insight, is providing a transformational platform for changemakers to learn and lead with purpose.
The First Lady described the opening day as both enlightening and inspiring, as discussions focused on purposeful partnerships, leadership impact, and the evolving role of First Partners in driving positive change in their countries and communities.
As the sessions continue, the First Lady expressed optimism about deepening collaborations with fellow global leaders and reaffirmed her commitment to impactful service for the people of Sierra Leone and beyond.
