Daring to Dream: A Woman’s Journey of Passion and Persistence | Aisha Ali-Gombe | TEDxBauchi

Aisha's call to action is for the younger generation to "dare to dream" beyond societal expectations, viewing obstacles as opportunities. Emphasizing the significance of education as a tool to change lives, she also appeals to society to foster inclusivity, support, and nurture every dream.

Associate Professor Aisha Ali Gombe’s Talk fully inspired me, Because who could ever imagined a Hausa/Fulani lady from deep down the north eastern part of Nigeria could stand in the midst of a thousand people and talk with efficient fluency and confidence? Talkmore educating and inspiring the world from her own stories!.. The entire people of Nigeria are SUPER PROUD of you Prof. And we look forward to inviting you in our subsequent TEDxBauchi annual programs.
