The story of Wanjũhĩ & leadership

Wanjũhĩ Njoroge grew up in a small rural town at the foot of Mount Kenya, surrounded by strong and resilient women—her grandmothers, her mother, and the women of her village.When the forest near her community came under threat, Wanjũhĩ led one of Kenya’s largest environmental campaigns, resulting in a nationwide ban on forest harvesting and major policy reforms. Later, when she ran for political office, she was forced to confront sexual harassment, but she never compromised her integrity.Today, Wanjũhĩ is a passionate advocate for community development, youth civic engagement, and unlocking the transformative potential of AI for Africa.She spoke to us about leadership.
