Wow congratulations. Sofonie Dala had the great honour to attend a live conference about the next generation change makers, hosted by President Bill Clinton, Secretary Hillary Clinton and Vice President Kamala Harris

Greetings everyone!

WOW what an incredible week of connection, community, and collective impact.

Earlier this month I won the great opportunity to study online at Clinton Global Initiative University community.

If there's been anything educative and inspiring this month, it's the CGI-U 2021 Annual meeting. The past 4 days were decked with insight from some of the world's best business professionals, activists, political figures, and social entrepreneurs. 

The Annual Meeting has demonstrated the incredible resilience, dedication and power that young people possess. It was wonderful getting to know so many change makers across the world.

Networking with changemakers with whom I share the same commitment of using leading-edge tech-based solutions to make Education accessible for Out of School Women and Girls including disabled children and the importance of investing in Agriculture in order to reduce Global Hunger was my favorite part. I also made new friends and met wonderful people who are equally determined to influence and tilt the world for the better. The closing plenary presided over by President Bill Clinton, and Secretary Hillary Clinton featured perhaps our most awaited guest, the esteemed US Vice President Kamala Harris. This 5-star panel reinforced the vision of cohort attendees with words of advice born from decades of leadership.

I thank the CGI-U team for the great experience, for the opportunity to share my vision and strengthen my CTA's framework.

Kudos to the CGI-U Class of 2021

Social entrepreneurs are super heroes working on fundamentally changing the world. 
Join us if you can!

Shoutout to #KhloeThompson: so inspiring, I run out of words to describe her. 

Last week over 300 change makers and I had the great honour to attend a live conference about the next generation change makers, hosted by Secretary Hillary Clinton.

I join Secretary Clinton in saying to Khloe “you give me hope” and here’s why:

→ she started Khloe Kares at the young age of 8 years old (distributing Kare bags to the homeless in LA)

→ she’s the author of "the girl who became the change"

→she annually travels to Ghana to help build clean water wells

→ she made clear how tired we are of fixing the issues from previous generations

→ and as if it was no big deal, she casually stated "I saw the difference and wanted to fix it. I am here to take over the world and want the youth to join me." And she will.

And here’s the craziest part....

Can you believe that she only turned 14 last week?(HBD, Khloe).

The 13th annual CGI U 2021 virtual meeting brought together 600 students from across the world who have made Commitments to Action — new, specific, and measurable initiatives that address pressing challenges. Hosted by President Bill Clinton, Chelsea Clinton, and Howard University from March 23-26, the meeting featured special guests Secretary Hillary Rodham Clinton, Stacey Abrams, Wes Moore, and others and explored topics on restoring faith in democracy, environmental justice, COVID-19 recovery, and creating systemic change.
