In March 2016, I spoke to a hall full of young African and global leaders at the third ALA Model African Union conference, commending them for being radical enough to believe that their work can change Africa. Speaking directly to non-Africans, I reminded them that Africa will not grow in a vacuum.

The welcome address to the third ALA Model African Union, on the theme “Africa: Moving from Potential to Action.”
In March 2017, I spoke at the annual ALA Model African conference, urging the more than 250 young leaders from across the world to act with a sense of urgency in developing proposed solutions for Africa’s challenges. I stressed that we cannot afford to wait for them to become cynical about Africa’s future.
At the conclusion of a year-long fellowship with the World Innovation Summit for Education (WISE), I presented Passion to Profession at the 2014 WISE Summit, inviting businesses and foundations to collaborate to deliver a revolutionary career development platform for youth in Bangladesh.
