IYC brought me a great opportunity to learn, network and experience some beautiful cities in Tanzania. This conference did not only allow me participate, but also gave me an authentic voice as an emerging Leader throughout the conference. We were heard, seen and felt. As I am going back to my country Liberia, it’s my hope to implement everything I’ve learned and develop creative & sustainable solutions to the complex problems being faced by youths, young women and girls. By attending any the conferences, you get to discover your true purpose for whatever cause you’re fighting for.✊🏾 One people, one root, one Africa.✊🏾

At first, all i saw were strange faces, when I looked around again on the last day, I saw a family. The conference nurtured my confidence and it enhanced my journey of self-discovery. It gave me a chance to work on both intrapersonal and interpersonal skills which will one day make me an effective leader. The social nights and diplomatic sessions were fantastic as I was able to get a chance to know my colleagues from all over Africa on personal levels. The tour around Dar-es-salaam was really nice and I got to learn about the beautiful city. Being an award winner boosted my self-esteem. My favorite part was Zanzibar. I got an experience that I will never forget. The island was marvelous and full of history. Great food and waking up to a beach settled well with me. A big thanks to the team that organized the conference and thank you for such a great conference.
