Our Youth Ambassadors Aanya and Phillip were interviewed on KING 5 Media Group to promote the free March 22 Teen Action Fair! “Before the Teen Action Fair I’d always wanted to make a difference, but I didn’t really know where to start. So this was a good starting point, and really inspired me to become more involved.” – Aanya Thaker ?? Watch: https://gates.ly/3XY01Z3

We had a great time celebrating #InternationalWomensDay with renowned writer and activist Dja?li Amadou Amal, the Gates Foundation's Sybil Chidiac, and more than 300 guests! Dja?li Amadou Amal shared powerful stories highlighting the resilience of women navigating cultural and societal barriers, that sparked important conversations. Guests also enjoyed music from KEXP DJ Lace Cadence and delicious African food from Regina Bukenya. Storytelling and advocacy can be powerful drivers of positive transformation. #IWD2025 ??: ?
