RECEPTION IN HONOUR OF THE FIRST LADY OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA
- Published On: 2023-02-25
KEPSA CEO Ms Carole Kariuki joined a few women leaders from Government, political class, Business, Civil Society and NGOs in a reception hosted in honour of H.E First Lady of the United States of America, Dr Jill Biden on 25th February 2023 in Nairobi.
During the event, Dr Biden commended the leaders for being an inspiration to many more and encouraged them to mentor the next generation of women leaders, adding that it’s a struggle for many women around the world to raise their voices and moreover, need to fight harder for opportunities. “When we come together as partners, we can begin to work against injustice. We can repair what’s broken and build something new. We can be the arms of welcome, the hands of kindness. We can stand shoulder to shoulder, and lift each other when we fall.” She remarked.
The U.S. Ambassador to Kenya H.E Meg Whitman lauded the leaders for their great achievements in society. She went on to say that she was happy to meet with some of Kenya's most accomplished women leaders while noting that she enjoyed engaging women trailblazers making a difference in their respective fields.
The visit was a follow-up of the U.S. - Africa Leaders’ Summit held last year where KEPSA CEO participated. During the summit, Dr Biden had also hosted a two-day program for Africa’s First Ladies present including the First Lady of the Republic of Kenya H.E Rachel Ruto.
Dr Biden had visited Namibia before jetting into Kenya on a tour that aimed at deepening ties between the U.S. and the continent. This was her third visit to Kenya and her first as the First Lady.
