Irrepressible swimmer, laugher and 80s music dancer. I can find a gender dimension in any situation. Advisor at Value for Women but tweets are my own.




On #InternationalWomensDay, @devex is looking to @BolisMara's powerful talk at @HarvardCID last month. Mara spoke about the failure of the development community to collect information about the differing experiences of men and women. Watch here: youtube.com/watch?v=BB-x9r… #IWD2023





“So much of the research that our projects and our programs are built upon is informed by male respondents speaking on behalf of humanity,” says @bolismara, a gender justice advocate & adviser at @ValueforWomen. #WomensDay2023 devex.com/news/to-move-p…






This quote (from @washingtonpost podcast) demonstrates why a lack of data (on the link between extreme weather & domestic violence) means a lack of action. From talk “How the Development Community Fails with a ‘Male Unless Otherwise Indicated’ Approach.” washingtonpost.com/podcasts/post-…



After an awesome empowering call w @AMarshallMD @BolisMara while juggling 3 kids getting dressed and on virtual school braiding hair and making breakfast, this is my current mood. #ParentingInAPandemic #covid19 #WomenInMedicine #WIMStrongerTogether
