Until We Meet Again 💙

As Dream Big Conference 2026 comes to a close, our scholars are beginning their journeys home—some today and others tomorrow. While it’s hard to say goodbye, we’re leaving this week filled with gratitude for the incredible community that made it possible.

More than 200 WMI scholars from around the world gathered in Nairobi alongside our staff, Board, Advisory Board, volunteers, and partners to learn, connect, celebrate, and dream boldly together.

This week reminded us that the WMI community is so much more than a scholarship. It is a lifelong network of exceptional people who believe in one another, invest in one another, and are committed to creating change in their communities and around the world.

To every scholar who joined us: thank you for bringing your stories, your ideas, your joy, and your dreams.

May you return home inspired, encouraged, and ready to put your vision into action.

Until we meet again—keep dreaming big. 🌍✨
