Paula Moreno was the first Afro-Colombia woman and the youngest person to lead a cabinet-level ministry in her native Colombia. Now, she is working to empower other young women to be the next generation of women in technology. “I create a program in my organization called Innovation Girls. We help to incubate in one of the most excluded and violent places in Colombia. We help to build robotic schools and we have girls learning programming and learning to create solutions in their communities. And I really love how they rediscovered their role in their society—as women, how they can build tools to really make the society work in a different way.” – Paula Moreno The Ford Foundation, a social justice philanthropy, presents the #FutureIsHers, an in-depth, multimedia content series celebrating the innovators, risk-takers, and change-makers we proudly support and the impact they’ve had on women and girls everywhere. While the challenges women and girls face are many, they’re rising up around the world—rewriting the rules, redefining power, and reimagining what equality looks like. With their collective action, social change is possible: The future is hers. ____ We want this video to be accessible to the widest possible audience.
