In 2017, Kendi Ntwiga-Nderitu spoke about her story at the UN General Assembly to represent the African woman. A couple of years back before that she had been selected from a pool of 1,500 applicants from Central Asia, Middle East and Africa as an emerging African leader for tech women.
She also founded She-Goes-Tech to mentor young girls to pursue careers in science and technology (3,100 girls so far).
