A self-driven person, passionate about community transformation and convinced that while the poor will always be among us it is not my lot to determine who should remain poor but rather do all that is in my power to change their plight. In pursuit of the above, I believe that the quality of leadership people have plays a central role in their transformation because a forward-looking leader will always inspire his/her people to greatness. I work on the premise that no one can limit me except me, because if I am keen, life most certainly will offer an opportunity for me to ride on and change my situation. With this conviction, my Bachelor’s degree in Economics and Certified Chartered Management Accountancy serve as a platform for my high calling: community transformation. A leader at home, church and work, I believe that multiplying myself into others through mentoring and giving of myself to others does not only enrich those I multiply myself into but it enriches me too. The more I empty myself into others the more room I create to receive more and to give more.
Motivation-Faith:
A practicing Christian with over forty years of walking with Jesus Christ as Saviour and Lord, I am convinced that faith is an important part of any one’s journey in life. It impacts life and positively contributes to the successful pursuit of the Inner Development Goals especially the self. Having had a turnaround in my life as a youth, I am committed to serving and impacting the youth, touching lives one by one.
An award winning Self- Styled Poet I am tapping into my natural gifting. Through poetry and storytelling, I passionately advocate for social change, preach the gospel and put a smile on many a face thus addressing the ever-present stress in many a life.
