Shamima Muslim To Represent Ghana In South Africa

Ms Shamima Muslim of Citi FM will represent young Ghanaian women at a US-sponsored Young African Women Leaders Forum in South Africa.

Forum participants include young women from across sub-Saharan
Africa, like Toyosi and Annah, who are leading or involved in social
and economic initiatives in their own countries.

The Forum will build on the Obama Administration’s on-going
engagement with the next generation of African leaders and the
momentum of the August 2010 President’s Forum with Young African
Leaders held at the White House.

A statement issued by the Public Affairs Section of the US
Embassy in Accra on Monday, said “This week, US First Lady Michelle
Obama will travel to Johannesburg and Cape Town, South Africa and
Gaborone, Botswana during an official visit to Africa from June 21 –
26.”

It said “During the trip, Mrs Obama will deliver the keynote
address at a US-sponsored Young African Women Leaders Forum in South
Africa.”
