My attendance at the Women2020 conference, the Afghan Women’s Caucus and other development forums afforded me the opportunity to network with and learn from a diverse group of practitioners in Washington, D.C.

Technological advancements have facilitated my sustained communication with these professionals, many of whom continue to play an important mentorship role in my life
