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.
Politics and diplomacy are important passions for me, as such it has been a pleasure meeting and discussing with various key actors in the UK, France, and Morocco
