Never underestimate the power and influence of your peers.

I connected with Tracy and Queenette at the University of Birmingham during my Masters in the UK in 2021.

This week, we all reconnected in Marrakesh for the Mo Ibrahim Foundation Governance Weekend. This was made possible due to my membership with the Now Generation Network which I got to know about and get an invitation to join by my classmate, Tracy who now works with the foundation.

Two things are golden - information and access and you never know who could be the pathway to these.

Don’t just network and build relationships with people above you, do this with those who might be below you at the moment and on the same level as you.

The only constant in life is CHANGE!
