Keturah Shammah: How Digital Access and Bold Thinking Help Girls Lead Change

In this episode, host Sheena Katz sits down with Keturah Shammah — founder and executive director of Girls Education Mission International, digital strategist, and advocate for girls’ education and technology access in Nigeria. Keturah shares how her own experience growing up with limited access shaped her mission, why technology can be a bridge between silence and voice, and how mentorship, digital safety, and cross-sector collaboration can help girls stay in school and step into leadership. From girls’ education to digital empowerment, this conversation highlights the power of bold vision, sustainable systems, and creating pathways that help girls not only access opportunity, but lead through it.About the PodcastWelcome to the World Pulse Podcast, where we explore how women around the world are driving social impact in their communities and across borders through leadership, connection, and collective action.
