I am deeply humbled and honoured to have been invited by @IGADsecretariat to participate in a regional meeting in Ethiopia. As an ordinary farmer,being given a seat at a table where conversations about agriculture, food systems, gender and policy are shaping our region is something I do not take for granted. I may be coming from the farm,but I carry the voices,experiences and realities of farmers with me.Grateful for this opportunity, and above all, grateful to God for how far He has brought me❤️
