Happy 88th birthday, President @MaEllenSirleaf! 🎉
Eight years ago today she joined Twitter at 80. Some said it was late. She has used it ever since to speak on leadership, peace and women's rights, and to connect with the world.
Proud to have helped her start that chapter: vrcmarketing.com/work/ejs-tw…

Happy 88th Birthday, @MaEllenSirleaf!
Today, the @EJSCenter celebrates the 88th birthday of our founder, H.E. Ellen Johnson Sirleaf.
As Africa's first democratically elected woman head of state, Liberia’s first woman President and a @NobelPrize Laureate, she broke barriers that many believed could not be broken. But her legacy is not only in what she achieved. It lives in every woman she has mentored, inspired, encouraged and championed into leadership. Happy birthday, Madam! Thank you for showing us the way.
