[LéO Africa Institute @LeoAfricaInst]

Our Co-Founder, @Uwihanganye_A, offered one of the day's most personal reflections, tracing LéO Africa's origins back to a room much like this one, nearly 16 years ago, where African leaders gathered and committed to founding the Institute. That commitment, made in the presence of those same leaders, became his own charge: to follow through, and to build something that would outlast the room it was born in.

"Make sure the leaders we are working with succeed, living high impact and quality lives," he said, describing spaces like this Forum as fundamentally about the exchange of ideas and the building of networks, work he called central to the mission LéO has carried since its founding.

At the heart of that mission, he explained, sits agaciro, the Kinyarwanda principle of knowing one's self-worth. His reasoning was direct: a leader who does not know themselves becomes a dangerous kind of leader. Self-awareness and pride in identity, he argued, are preconditions for effective leadership, not optional traits. He linked this to a broader continental task, rejecting inherited stereotypes, citing the example of the source of the Nile being credited to a European "discovery," as part of protecting African dignity and correcting a narrative Africans did not write for themselves.

Awel then walked through the architecture LéO has built to translate that philosophy into practice: Griots, a storytelling fellowship reshaping how Africa's story gets told; Huduma, developing values-based public servants; a network of 250 Fellows spanning 11 African countries; the Africa Champions Network, connecting leaders across sectors and borders; and the Annual Leaders Gathering, the Institute's flagship convening for turning shared purpose into collective action.

He closed on the same note he opened with: none of it holds without collaboration. "If not, in the end, nothing will work."

@pirwot The same way Greeks had to choose between Kleos (glory, legacy when you die in battle) and Nostos (homecoming, death of boring old age)

@DrOribaDan I personally think it's the inferiority complex, it's a deep human nature that when you fear the other is bigger than you, one resorts to undermining so that they can feel good about themselves. As someone who have been both sides, it's much sweeter to be the one hated on.

[Arsenal @Arsenal]

Tomorrow, we celebrate an incredible season with a special parade.

We'll see you in north London, Gooners ❤️
