There are few weeks where you have the opportunity to meet, discuss, and connect with some of the most inspiring, motivated, and impactful youths you'll find in Cameroon, Africa and America.
What started with a chat with the cream-of-the-cream techies of #SiliconMountain ;
...continued with a U.S. Embassy Yaounde sponsored Youth Dialogue with Mandela Washington YALI Fellows on Gender-Based Violence #GBV, Sexual & Reproductive Health Rights #SRHR in rural Cameroon and advancing youths' voice in the #Post2015 agenda;
... and continued with a dinner with the Harvard students (HBS, HKS) on "Family-owned businesses in Africa" hosted by the Fadil Group (owners of the Pullman Hotel, Douala);
ended with a #YouthAsSolution Conference co-organized by the AfricaCaucus of the Harvard Kennedy School , Harambe-Cameroon , Africa 2.0 Foundation , Synergie de la Jeunesse Camerounaise and Inspire Afrika Mag, that brought together some of the most successful startup owners and founders in Cameroon, who have raised from $25.000 - $350.000 individually of startup capital.
Beyond these actions, personally - I relished on the time I spent and reconnected with some of the brothers and sisters had bonded with in the past; I had the opportunity to listen, observe, connect with young, smart, and engaged counterparts. I hope I get to live more weeks like these through the year, because I tell y'all it boosts the mind, spirit and body with a burning flame that can continue to give out fire to hundreds of others.To have an idea of the conversation, follow my twitter thread here (@Sankara1111) : https://twitter.com/sankara1111
