Overview
Why do you want to join youthpower
How I want to make an Impact

My work in the youth development space, with a specific focus on creating projects that assist teenagers with career and life path identification, makes me a change-maker in my community in the city of Abuja Nigeria. Over the years, I have been able to successfully help over 500 teenagers with personality identification, career, and life path identification in addition to mental health first aid support for them. Presently, my team and I are on a project to set up safe spaces for young people to interact with strategic content for continuous development and self-discovery. In recognition of my work, I was awarded the Mandela Washington Fellowship for Young African Leaders, a 6-week US-based immersive leadership development fellowship sponsored by the US State Department. I recently got back from Malawi on a funded trip to execute leadership and personality development workshop sessions for select young leaders in the capital city of Lilongwe.

Currently, I am on a year-long exchange fellowship in Washington DC, under the Atlas Corps Fellowship for social change leaders.
