Being alone in believing in your dream. Fighting and pushing so hard. Then one day you see the pieces come together. You hear God remind you that He told you that you weren't crazy for believing (in) Him.
I'm breathing for the first time in a long time.

Happy World Youth Skills Day.
I could not have asked for a better way to mark this day than by joining hundreds of youth delegates and stakeholders at the 2025 World Youth Development Forum in Suzhou, Jiangsu, China.
I am representing the ABAN Center for Global Policy (@AbanGlobal). Our Digital and Sustainability Experience (DSE) initiative was nominated and selected as one of the 100 Action Plan projects for Global Youth Development. Earlier today, I had the opportunity to pitch about the DSE, its impacts, and our vision to scale the impact through #DSE2025.
As a youth-led think tank, ABAN CGP is committed to providing platforms to tackle the most challenging issues for young people. DSE is our response to the growing youth unemployment rate while accelerating efforts to achieve the SDGs by serving as a platform for youth to learn practical ways to leverage sustainability and digitalisation for jobs.
Together with my colleagues, we have convened DSE over the past two years and have reached over 4000 young people amidst limited resources. We look forward to organising the 3rd edition on a bigger scale this year. We plan to launch in August with an SDGs Localisation Workshop in line with the International Youth Day 2024 theme and follow with the main event from October 16-18, 2025.
A big thank you to Generation Unlimited for the nomination and the entire team at ABAN CGP for all the hard work. As we celebrate this year's World Youth Skills Day on the theme of youth empowerment through AI and Digital Skills, the recognition DSE is receiving is fulfilling, but we are inspired to do more to ensure young people's empowerment.

Happy International Day of the Midwife
The epidemic of violence against women and girls shames humanity.
Around one in three women experience physical or sexual violence.
No country or community is unaffected. And the situation is getting worse.

The youth demographic of Africa is a significant asset and potential catalyst for transformative change, emphasizing the need for targeted policies and programmes.
As the Africa Regional Representative Candidate, I envision African commonwealth economies being structurally transformed through industrialization, manufacturing, and value creation. They also create shared growth through private sector development, entrepreneurship.
Commonwealth African citizens should have full access to affordable and quality healthcare services and universal access to sexual and reproductive health and rights information. These services should be available to all women, including young women, adolescents and young people
My Work as the Africa Regional Representative would make sure that policymakers at all levels - business, religious, community, women and youth leaders, and ordinary citizens must therefore act with determination and muster the needed resolve, exercise greater unity of purpose.
My key Interests as the Africa Regional Representative Candidate is making sure that Africa as an integrated, prosperous and peaceful Africa, driven by its own citizens and representing a dynamic force in the international arena.
πππ₯π₯π¨, ππ¨π¦π¦π¨π§π°πππ₯ππ‘ πππ¦π’π₯π²!
As the Africa Regional Representative Candidate for the Commonwealth Youth Council Executive Committee, I am committed to ensuring that our voice is strongly represented across our vibrant 21 African member countries.
ALL WORKERS ARE PROTECTED BY HUMAN RIGHTS
As we reflect on the a session we had with Caltex in Jwaneng, it is crucial to address pressing human rights issues within Botswana's labour sector. Every worker deserves fair treatment, safe working conditions.
