Please share a short bio for yourself. This should be no more than 3-4 short paragraphs.

I have unassuming beginnings which can be traced to Bamenda, a small and lovely town in the North West Province of Cameroon. On completing High School, my quest for a better Cameroon and better Africa took root and led me to the African Leadership Academy in Johannesburg South Africa.


After leaving ALA and in my first year at LSE, my quest for a positive change took its first baby steps and my blog Youths4Change was born, a platform to engage and sensitize young Cameroonians at home and in the Diaspora.

Accordingly, Youths4Change as an organization was born, as a breakaway from top down NGO models and from bureaucratized government organizations… an organization founded and run by young people. Youths4Change has embarked on a journey with an aspiration to unlock Africa’s potential which lies within its greatest resource, its young and enterprising global human capital.
