Serious horsetrading underway to form Fiji’s next govt after hung parlt. How kingmaker Sodelpa swings could decide whether FijiFirst returns for 3rd term or not. For challenger parties the longer it takes riskier it gets.From the cusp of victory they could end up staring defeat.

Got this in the mail! Had an emotional moment seeing it in print. Over 100 women journalists from around the world played a role in this book. It's the project that brought me to the US as a visiting scholar at Center for Women's Global Leadership working with Krishanti Dharmaraj and Cosette T. So proud!
