International Women’s Month Tribute to the women who raised us
We are held up by countless women in our lifetimes, some loudly leading at the forefront, some who’s quiet strength serves as the bedrock and foundation of our lives. For this month, Siinqee Institute Board member Chizuru Nobe-Ghelani honours her “Baachan”, her grandmother for her quiet strength and her teachings of love and curiosity for the natural world.
International Women’s Day Tribute to Aisha Ahmed Siraj and the women who shaped her:
As the world celebrates its women on the occasion of the 2025 International Women’s Day, the Siinqee Institute would like to pay tribute to Ayisha Ahmed Siraj and the strong Oromo women who lovingly shaped her into the strong woman she is today.
We honour Ayisha for her passionate love of her foremothers’ siinqee cultural heritage.
We praise her for her unflinching commitment to nurturing it and making it thrive in the diaspora, far away from her homeland.
We thank Ayisha for being a positive example, for inspiring many to embrace their cultural heritage, and for her invaluable contributions to developing it further.
