Muthoni’s thoughts on #AccelerateAction
“Action is the bridge between ideas and impact. If we want change, we can’t just imagine it, we have to move, build, and push forward. #AccelerateAction is therefore a reminder that the world won’t wait for us to be ready, comfortable, or certain. Real and meaningful progress belongs to those willing to take the first step, to risk, to disrupt, and to create. The time for doing is now.”
