Shirah Mansaray: How To Impact The World With Philanthropy, Investing, And Micro-Loans

As members of the human race, we are all so interconnected. And it is our job to fight against injustices and bring on positive changes to make the world a better place for everyone. 

At a very young age, our guest Shirah Mansaray has already opened her eyes to any unequal treatment observed in her society. That motivated her to become an advocate and raise awareness for people suffering from discrimination and inequality. Now she's the CEO of her NGO called "I am Somebody's Child Soldier" and a Trustee of Amnesty International UK. Shirah is motivated to safeguard the mission, vision and charitable objectives of her organization and spearheads in supporting human rights activism.

Today's key takeaways are:

• How did she connect with Amnesty International, and what was her journey like building that relationship?
