Everyone wins when children - and especially girls – have access to education. An educated girl is likely to increase her personal earning potential and prepare herself for a productive and fulfilling life, as well as reduce poverty in the whole community. Investing in girls' education also helps delay early marriage and parenthood. Our booming economies in Africa need more female engineers, teachers and doctors to prosper and sustain growth.

I want everybody to be happy because, if you're happy, you are more open to other people. Don't let misery bring you down.

I want to look at myself in the mirror at the end of my life and say I've done my share and I'm proud of what I've done.

Africa is not just about where you are born. For me, Africa is the whole continent; from south to north, to east to west.

For me, from the point of view of my life, I've been impacted by women that taught me that, as a woman, my body is a sanctuary, that whoever I invite in my body, I have to be clear in that invitation.

I collaborate with people because their music talk to me as much as mine talk to them.

If everybody can be happy with what they achieve with their life, this world would be a better place.
