A space where conversations, essays and debates are had or written with the goal to challenge the norm. Existing beyond the sake of just existing, but to serve as a catalytic juncture for what is yet to be a wild existence of humanity, to ask the questions that need asking. This is the culmination of unity, of Pan Africanism, unhindered by our borders while unified by our visions & passions.

    In Conversation with social entrepreneur Seun Sangoleye, a computer science graduate from Lagos State University in Nigeria, the conversation dips it’s toes into what the state of health in the African continent is, what the critical points are, specifically with children.

    UGANDA (Part 2) | Politics with Ram Hadji | Global Community

    In Part 2 of a 2 part conversation with Ram Hadji, a brand strategist, a CEO & TEDx speaker, we talk the state of the global community. The crises in the world today have solutions, maybe not just from the local citizens alone, but should that matter? Should where we come from, what we identify as, determine how much we care about the human race? https://instagram.com/ramhadji https://twitter.com/ramhadji https://linkedin.com/in/ramhadji

    UGANDA (Part 1) | Politics with Ram Hadji | Are we asking the right questions?

    In Part 1 of a 2 part conversation with Ram Hadji, a brand strategist, a CEO & TEDx speaker, we question the state of leadership and we are being challenged to ask the 'right' questions; not just about Uganda but about the people of the continent. The elections in Uganda left us, the rest of the world, with so many questions, they left us wondering about the humanity that we claim to be fighting for; an internet shutdown on a normal day would never be ideal, what more during the international crisis we are facing? https://instagram.com/ramhadji https://twitter.com/ramhadji https://linkedin.com/in/ramhadji
