For #FlashbackFriday , after leaving the home of the African Union on Thursday, something made me remember I'd posted pictures of my first trip there in March of 2012. If you're lucky, you'll live long enough to forget half of the really cool experiences you've had. I recall that during my first trip, I was awed by the impressive architecture and the gilded brilliance of the #Africa emblem at the plenary hall entrance. But how could I have misplaced memories of interviewing former President of #Ghana Jerry Rawlings? Seven lucky years later, my return to the AU reminded me that there's still so much work to be done, so many more experiences to learn and grow from. Every day offers a brand new opportunity for adventure. And sometimes, you get to have a marvelous do-over! #AfricanUnion #AfricaRising #journeys #exploration #GrandChallenges …see more

#Gender has a profound effect on access to #healthcare for #womenandgirls worldwide--and now American women are being faced with a momentous threat that will level the playing field in the most disastrous way possible. As #reproductivehealth and #reproductiverights are being attacked on a daily basis, we are realizing that whether you live in #NewYork or #Nairobi , the #patriarchy is determined to control our voices, our incomes, our safety and our power. Ahead of the June 3-6 Women Deliver International Conference, I vow to keep #genderequality , #genderequity and #genderjustice at the top of my list of priorities as a woman, a journalist and, yes, as an elder. I've lived through too much, seen too many women living in desperate poverty and ill health in America and abroad, and I will not relinquish my right to #SpeakTruthToPower . #globalhealth #womenshealth #womensrights @Planned Parenthood UN Women …see more

Follow me on Twitter - @RJConsults - for #UniversalHealthCoverageDay activities on December 12th, and throughout the coming week leading up to the December 15th release of the 5th Progress Report of the London Declaration on Neglected Tropical Diseases. Uniting to Combat Neglected Tropical Diseases will update results of the global effort to eradicate diseases like trachoma, elephantiasis, sleeping sickness and river blindness, which affect more than a billion of the world’s poorest people. The impact of this high-level coalition of public and private partners, the pharmaceutical industry, communities and NGOs can’t be overstated. The 5th Progress Report will herald the successes in the battle to end NTDs, while providing the roadmap for the reaching the finish line. #UTCNTD #NTDs #UHCDay2017 #HealthForAll #MyRightToHealth #globalhealth #WHO #WorldBank #UNICEF #UHC203 …see more
