WHY I AM AN AFRICAN

NBF AFRICAN LEADERSHIP PROGRAMME

MAY 2007

For me it means an unrelenting pursuit of critical thinking with transcendal leadership that result in new spaces for expression and existence. To be African means changing the status quo and encouraging free thinking with the intention of removing historical events that manifest as constraints in the present. It is about having the ability to grow new paths towards new realities wherein the manifestation of a person allows for the …. of human potential. Being African is a state of mind incomparable to previous states. The state of mind is one of refusing to become a victim of the past, but rather a creator of the future.
