What is your personal view of Unity across Africa?
I believe that unity across Africa is really important. It means African people supporting each other, working together, and building each other up, no matter where we come from. We’ve been divided for a long time because of things like colonialism and racism, but I think it’s time for us to reconnect and stand together.
To me, unity doesn’t mean we all have to be the same. It means celebrating our different cultures while still working towards the same goals: freedom, growth, and a better future for all African people. As someone who’s passionate about Pan-Africanism, I really believe in coming together to make Africa stronger.
What is your personal view of Unity across the diaspora and all descendants of Africa?
I believe unity across the diaspora and all descendants of Africa is powerful and necessary. Even though we’re spread out around the world, we share a deep connection through our roots. I think it’s important for us to come together, support each other, and work towards healing from the pain and division caused by slavery, colonization, and racism.
To me, unity means recognizing our shared struggles, celebrating our cultures, and building something better together, whether we live in Africa or abroad. When we stand together, we’re stronger and can create real change for future generations of Black people everywhere.
What do you hope to learn from APM?
I hope to learn how to become a stronger leader and community builder through APM. I want to grow in my understanding of Pan-Africanism, social justice, and how to practically create change in African communities. I’m also excited to learn from others who are passionate about unity and empowerment, especially those with different life experiences or knowledge.
Most of all, I want to learn how to use my voice, skills, and education to help uplift Africa and its people, both on the continent and in the diaspora.
What impact do you hope to have as a Source Ambassador?
As a Source Ambassador, I hope to inspire connection, pride, and purpose among African people, especially the youth. I want to be part of bridging the gap between Africans on the continent and in the diaspora by helping people reconnect with their roots, their identity, and their power.
Through this role, I hope to represent the values of unity, healing, and collective progress. Whether it’s through outreach, sharing knowledge, or just showing up with consistency and heart, I want to be someone who uplifts others and helps create real, lasting change in our communities.
