I don't mean to humble brag,Quentin Mitchell but I am on a first name basis with one of the most influential people in the world (according to the new list from Timemagazine).

It's not Serena Williams. It's not Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum.

It's Angeline Murimirwa, who goes by "Angie."

I interviewed Angie back in 2018 in a pub in Oxford. We were attending the Skoll World Forum – a yearly gathering of social activists and advocates. She was then Africa director of CAMFED — the Campaign for Female Education). It's a charity that gives full scholarships covering tuition and any related expenses to girls in five countries in Africa so they can complete their primary and secondary education.
