Founder at Chess In Slums Africa

The DLD Conference was life changing for me in many ways, but more importantly because I got to give a keynote speech about our lofty dreams of helping the forgotten children find their rightful place in the world again. I was a little nervous before going up stage, but God’s promise to us remains true that he hasn’t given us the spirit of fear, but of love, power and of a Soundmind. My speech was captured as a top highlight of the event and deeply resonated with thousands of people in attendance. Every time I get to talk about the work that we do @chessinslums , I’m reminded that I do not speak for myself alone, but on behalf of millions of children across Africa whose hopes and dreams could depend on this. It’s a privilege of a lifetime that I’m able to stand in the gap for them. And someday, when the stars we bring up align, they will get to speak on global stages like this one, and extend the same opportunities to other children like them. Here’s to raising a new generation of thinkers that will challenge the status quo and bring Africa to the prosperity it truly deserves. Here’s to doing great things from a small place❤️
