Send us Fan MailHello Sustainable Friends... Welcome to this episode titled 'Youth Leadership and Empowerment: What Next?'“If I am not for myself, who will be for me?If I am only for myself, what am I?If not now, then when?”- Hillel“If not me, then who?'' - Dr. ArielMy guest DR. ARIEL ROSITA KING, MPH, MBA, Ph.D. (UK), DTM&H, Ph.D. (France) is the President, Ariel Foundation International and Ariel Consulting International.Dr. Ariella (Ariel) Rosita King (www.drarielking.com) founded the Ariel Foundation International (www.arielfoundation.org) in 2002, as a non-profit organization with an international focus on children and youth-inspired leadership and participation worldwide. I found this episode profound as we identified the need to create a positive impact for people and the planet. Mindsets simply need to change to achieve this outcome. Young people will increasingly play a significant role in this journey. But, how can we help them to achieve the change they deserve?Young leaders — between the ages of 18 and 29 years old — represent the diverse voices of young people from every region of the world, and are collectively responsible for activating millions of other young people in support of the SDGs. This group will come together as a community to support efforts to engage young people in the realization of the SDGs both through strategic opportunities within the UN and through various existing initiatives, platforms, and networks.Change most times starts with the youth!... We need to move over!Happy listening!@LetsActAfrica@TokunboIfaturoti
