I was delighted to meet, share, learn, and mentor the exceptional young leaders of the West Africa, Central Africa, and the Middle East Cohort during the One Young World Summit 2025 in Munich this week.

Each of these inspiring One Young World Africa and the Middle East delegates carries within them the boundless potential of a generation determined to reshape systems, elevate communities, and redefine what leadership means in our time.

In our conversations, I was deeply inspired by their sense of purpose, to serve with compassion, to innovate with integrity, and to act with courage in advancing equality, wellbeing, and opportunity across our regions. Their voices remind us that the future of sustainable development rests in the power of intergenerational guidance and shared vision.

As a Counsellor at One Young World, and through my work with the Wellbeing Foundation Africa, WBW Voices youth mentorship initiative, I look forward to the next generation transforming ideas into impact, building a healthier, fairer, and more hopeful world for every woman, child, and family.
