His work was recognized by the President of the United States, Barack Obama in 2018 when he highlighted three (3) emerging young leaders doing the hard work that is transforming their communities and embody Mandela’s (Madiba) values.
My passion is about transforming Africa by developing a critical mass of a new breed of leaders who are accountable, ethical and serve others inspired by their character values and as an outcome of their own personal transformation.
