For Youth in Zimbabwe, Leadership Begins with Listening

Lindsay Nyabereka grew up in Zimbabwe in a school system that prized grades, competition, and clear paths to success. But behind the country’s high literacy rates, she says something vital was missing. Now, as a law student in Harare, Lindsay leads groups for young people focused on mindfulness, emotional resilience, and a philosophy called Ubuntu: I am because we are. In a country where many young people face unemployment, online exploitation, and deep uncertainty, Lindsay’s work creates space for resilience to grow.
