Being part of that dialogue meant not only sitting at the table but effectively telling the African story from an African perspective - in full earshot of the world. ↗

Into the hands of every individual is given a marvelous power for good or evil---the silent, unconscious, unseen influence of his life. This is simply the radiation of what man really is, not what he pretends to be. ↗
