"Starting up a new organization from scratch always requires a lot of courage, persistence, optimism, creativity, imagination, vision and commitment. Starting up FRIDA the Young Feminist Fund was even a bigger challenge, taking in account its innovative model and its global ambitions. However, you made it happen Amina, with such grace and lightness!"

She has the social acumen to expertly bring people along in a process and ensure inclusion on every level.
