Yvonne Aki-Sawyerr has taken the role of tree-planting mayor of Freetown by storm, becoming the first female directly elected mayor in the city’s history. Her efforts to combat climate change and uplift the community have garnered international recognition, but also faced criticism and challenges.

As she continues to navigate political obstacles and push for environmental progress, Mayor Aki-Sawyerr remains a symbol of empowerment for women and girls in the region.
