Africa_What a Year 2021

Four Ethiopian women listed among 100 most influential Africans in 2021

“Gidey’s seemingly effortless stride will carry her to many more records, making her one of the world’s biggest athletics stars, and the next great Ethiopian sporting ambassador at a time when the country badly needs symbols of unity.”

“After cutting her teeth in the US administrations of George W. Bush and Barack Obama, Mimi Alemayehou, an Ethiopia-born, Kenya-raised American development finance expert, is now making waves in the global private sector.”

“Born at Adama in Ethiopia in 1993, arriving in the Netherlands as a refugee when she was 15 years old, and taking Dutch citizenship in 2013, Sifan has defied her circumstances, her lean appearance, and somewhat pained expression to wear down the most formidable opposition.”

“Mid this year, [Timnit] said she was raising money to launch an independent research institute based on her work at Google’s Ethical Team and taking in what she had achieved as the founder of Black in AI, a community of black AI researchers.”
