Causes I particularly care about:

  • The empowerment of developing countries via South-South cooperation, and the collaboration to solve common issues such as food insecurity, health crisis & natural disaster prevention, socio-economic instability, etc.

  • Educating, empowering, promoting, and mentoring the youth in Africa.

  • The return of effective diplomacy and honest political and civil discourse at the center of solving world issues.
