Shea Morrissey

I am a human rights activist who holds a degree in Politics from Whitman College. A dedicated advocate for social justice, I currently serve as the Resource Mobilization Director of Akili Dada, an international award-winning leadership incubator for girls and young women based in Nairobi, Kenya.

With almost a decade of experience at the intersection of women’s rights and leadership development, I have worked extensively with organizations to provide support in organizational and programmatic strategy, development and implementation.

I have a passion for play and community building, which has led her to work with NGOs such as Women Win and Soccer Without Borders to increase access to sport as a vehicle for positive change.
