Episode 14: Design Your Destiny: Youth Empowerment

This month of The Saibatu Mansaray Journey we focus on one of our many priorities which is our youth. Last month I lost my nephew who was only 25 years old and was an amazing, inspirational young man who valued being a role model to young people especially those who loved football. As a Baylor football player, he embodied teamwork, camaraderie and mentorship. While I did not get to have him as a guest on the show, his persona will forever shine through every episode the Journey airs for our youth, young people and all those aspiring to make it to the next level. 

In this episode we chat with an international lawyer, mindset coach, social entrepreneur, published author, prolific writer, public speaker and humanitarian Henry Ukazu. He is the author of the widely acclaimed inspirational and motivational book Design Your Destiny- Actualizing Your Birthright To Success. Henry is a Nigerian who now lives in the US and is the Founder and President at Global Empowerment Mentoring Initiative Inc. and Henry Ukazu Leadership and Mentoring Program. This is a man who prioritizes the empowerment and success of our youth which started when he was a young man himself empowering and leading others be it in highschool or college. 

You don’t want to miss:

  • Henry’s take on empowering our disadvantaged youth

  • The role of parents in being a support system to our youth 

  • My take on the future of Africa

Through my story and those of my amazing guests, I pray that our message touches the lives of people to be inspired, encouraged and informed all on all things faith, empowerment, global health, and beloved Mother Africa.
