Manage episode 366505363 series 3397744
Change comes in all forms. It takes foresight, determination, and dedication to elicit change. Hammed describes himself as "a nonprofit leader, spoken word poet, author, and social entrepreneur known throughout Africa for my advocacy for education, youth, and sustainable development. I describe myself as a product of grace and circumstance. I grew up in the largest floating slum in Africa “Makoko-Nigeria”, lost my mother at age 7, and watched my father struggle to find employment this became my motivation for empowering young leaders in my community and education offered me that pathway. By age 15, I was already teaching in a basic rural school in Lagos and later founded a nonprofit, the Kayode Alabi Leadership and Career Initiative -KLCI. With over 100 volunteers across 6 states in Nigeria, KLCI has provided life, 21st-century skills, leadership development, and career readiness training to over 6500 secondary school students in rural communities in Nigeria."
