At the A360 boot camp in Lagos, the session on adult-youth partnership was transformative. Accustomed to a culture where young people mainly listen while adults speak and decide, I suddenly found myself contributing ideas on issues that deeply affect adolescents and youths—while sitting in the same room as adults. That experience shaped me.
Since then, I have developed the courage to engage meaningfully alongside adults on matters that concern us all. It has also greatly strengthened my confidence in public speaking.
