It’s not a secret that women make less money than men—in the U.S. in 2022, women earned only 82% as much as their male counterparts. When it comes to Latina women vs. non-Hispanic men, that gap widens to 54%. Aside from being exploitative, this discrepancy is bad for business. When women are undervalued, it means less talent, greater turnover and higher levels of poverty. By contrast, an economy that appreciates women’s and men’s contributions equally gains a wider range of ideas, expertise and experience. In this discussion, Trevor Noah and Melinda Gates will envision a society where everyone can both contribute and benefit.
Laiqi Walli, a student at the Aga Khan Academy in Mombasa, Kenya, offers an enlightening, youth perspective on the progress and ethics of East African development. Laiqa is an ambitious, vocal and focused student at the Aga Khan Academy Mombasa. She has a passion for the Visual Arts and strongly believes in valuing one’s culture. She thrives in an environment that stimulates her intellectually and thus enjoys discussing real world problems and their solutions. Having grown up in Tanzania, she considers the African influence to be an essential aspect of who she is. But she is concerned about the western takeover that she sees happening all around her under the name of ‘development’. She is concerned for the loss of a culture that is so inherent to who she is and wishes to challenges the concept of development.
