Bill Gates just welcomed girls' education activist Malala to Twitter
Gates Notes
Such was the case when Microsoft co-founder and international philanthropist Bill Gates welcomed Malala Yousafzai to Twitter on Friday with a tweet.
Yousafzai, a 19-year-old Pakistani activist who won the 2014 Nobel Peace Prize, joined the social network earlier in the day in celebration of having graduated secondary school.
This isn't the first time the two have conversed. In 2015, Gates and Yousafzai met in New York and recorded an interview to promote a documentary about her life, He Named Me Malala.
Yousafzai has been advocating for education equality for girls and women since she was a child. She lived in a region where the Taliban banned girls from attending school and survived an assassination attempt relating to her activism in 2012.
You continue to inspire me, @Malala. Thanks to you, young women around the world can dream of a brighter future for themselves. https://t.co/PuPt6aKn8I
