Davis recently wrote an article for Carnegie Council, touching on some of these issues, "Unlocking the Potential of Young Working Women in the Middle East and North Africa." This podcast also references this 2015 event Carnegie Council hosted with Education for Employment's Ronald Bruder, founder and chair, and Jasmine Nahhas di Florio, vice president of strategy and partnerships, and this 2015 Carnegie New Leaders Podcast with Davis.
