10 Nov 2023
APB is proud and excited to share that President Ellen Johnson Sirleaf—Africa's first elected female President, winner of the Nobel Peace Prize and one of our most sought-after speakers—has been selected as an honoree of the TIME100 Impact Awards Africa. The awards recognize "visionaries who have gone above and beyond to make an impact and move their respective industries forward."
Known as "Africa’s Iron Lady," President Johnson Sirleaf won international acclaim for leading Liberia through the Ebola crisis and through reconciliation and recovery following her nation’s decade-long civil war. As Africa’s first democratically elected female head of state and Liberia’s first female president, she is credited with achieving dramatic economic, social and political change, culminating in Liberia’s first peaceful and democratic transfer of power in 73 years. She inspires with a passionate message of fighting for peace, justice, democracy, women’s rights and the economic advancement of her people.
