There are those who wait for change and those who make it. In the World Bank Africa’s new series, “Women of Action: Stories of Change”, we discover the stories of diverse women and how they’re transforming their countries and Sub-Saharan Africa. In each episode, we learn about a #changemaker: their journey and inspiration, as they fight to break societal norms, promoting #SocialInclusion, #AcceleratingEquality, and inspiring a new generation of changemakers. From Burkina Faso, Apolline Traore is an award-winning director whose films tell authentic African stories. Her ambition doesn't stop there, and she plans to make top-notch films on the international stage, perhaps even direct your favorite superhero's next foray on the big screen. Get to know more about this rising star of African cinema in this episode of Meet the Inspiring Pioneers!
