I would like to commend the organizers of this conference for a well-thought-out and timely initiative that continues to amplify youth voices and create space for honest, solution-driven conversations.
I emphasized that while running for office is one way to serve, there are numerous other avenues to create impact — from party involvement to public service and community leadership. I also encouraged young people to be discerning in the information they consume and share, to stay informed, patient and consistent as they navigate their growth journey in the political space.
Today, I had the pleasure of speaking as a panelist at the DARE 2025 Conference @DARE_Africa, organized by @youthhubafrica, themed “Own the Shift: Power, Platforms and the Politics of Being Young in Africa.”
Our conversation explored youth participation in governance, the importance of credibility and the many pathways through which young people can contribute to nation-building beyond elective office.
Honored to be back on the DARE Conference stage 🔥
Last year, I shared my voice. This year, I return to keep the conversation going to challenge norms, spark thought, and remind young Africans that our stories matter. 🌍
