Aimee had no idea that she disrupted convention until she became ED of TWB. For over 25 years, Aimee has worked in humanitarian and development contexts on 4 continents for UN agencies and NGOs like Oxfam and Save the Children, to ensure that the most vulnerable are able to access their rights. TWB forms a critical link from which we can disrupt the world - by joining with others to ensure that information can be accessed, understood and acted upon by the most marginalized. We want to bring languages into the digitalized world, potentially by-passing text-based communications in favor of speech and voice.
