Landing a spot on the Forbes Africa 30 under 30 list was nothing short of surreal, a whirlwind of excitement that took me from the vast landscapes of Africa to the bustling streets of America. Being the youngest on the list at the time was both an honor and a humbling reminder of where my journey with Latest Sightings had brought me.
The experience was more than just a way to celebrate what I had done. It felt like an open door to a world I had only dreamed about. I started flying to different countries, meeting amazing people who were making big changes in the world. I went to events and conferences that felt like a sneak peek into the future. Every place I visited was full of new ideas, big goals, and inspiring stories. Each conversation helped me see that even more was possible than I had ever imagined.
But one of the biggest moments in my journey was when I was invited to speak at the first Forbes Africa 30 under 30 summit in Botswana. I stood on stage with inspiring people like Patrice Motsepe, and even spoke in front of the president of Botswana. Sharing my story there was about more than just being on the list. It showed how powerful young people can be when they follow their ideas and work to make a difference.
That day wasn’t just about what I had already done. It was about showing what is possible for others too. I wanted to inspire every young dreamer to believe they can make their mark on the world.
