Here is Isatou Bah, also known as I.B. She is just fabulous. She works at ADWAC and is the national chair for the North Bank region for the Youth Action Movement. She is a mover and shaker and one of the few role models for these girls. She lead a session about Adolescent Reproductive Sexual Health, talking about preventing pregnancy, STIs, and the reproductive system. Isatou advocated for "proper condom use" not just use condoms. I volunteered my hand to demonstrate putting on a condom properly and disposing of it. Most of the girls were a bit taken aback. It is probable that they are sexually active, we can preach abstinence to a group of girls who have already had sexual relations. She is one of the few Gambians that get that and is not afraid to say and teach it. She is my role model!
