F Njahîra Wangarî - Book Chapter

Abstract
"This chapter blends African oral and written narratives, lived experiences with a genetic chronic disability and a Roman Catholic upbringing. These will be interrogated to illustrate the role of alternative explanations in influencing advocacy and activism for the lives, wellbeing, dignity and inclusion of persons with disabilities. Particularly, this chapter is an exploration of self-identity and how persons with disabilities are conditioned to view ourselves in specific ways while highlighting alternative perceptions available is presented by the author. It engages the works of several African and African-descendent authors who feature persons with disabilities as characters in their books and relies on narrative prosthesis as the basis for this engagement."

Event Description

COVID-19 has had devastating impacts on education around the world, affecting more than 1.6 billion students and leaving 11 million girls at risk of permanently dropping out of school. In many communities, local organizations are finding innovative ways to cope with these challenges. They are helping students without reliable internet attend virtual lessons, launching educational radio programs, and developing teaching materials for families.

Join a global conversation on education during COVID-19 to discuss these issues – and how we can build a more equitable world after the pandemic – with young female leaders from across the globe. During this webinar, you will hear directly from 16- to 20-year-olds involved with four GFC partner organizations: Local Education and Economic Development Organization (LEEDO) in Bangladesh, Un Mundo in Honduras, Oasis Mathare in Kenya, and CREA in Nicaragua. Sunga Kufeyani, GFC’s Youth Leadership Council Secretary and the Co-Founder of Loving Arms Malawi, will moderate the discussion.
