Do you ever wonder if people who “have it all together” really know what they’re doing? Could it be they’ve just become experts at pushing through ambiguity? Through personal experience and interviews with a few leaders at the height of their careers, this talk issues both a license-to-chill and a call-to-action. My life's journey began in West Africa, and my family has always been committed to social service. While I will be the first to acquire a master's degree in Social Work, there are many social servants that include ministers, teachers, therapists, nurses, musicians, artists, historians, and financial advisers. These family dynamics have deeply impacted my perspective on life by making me highly aware of the needs of others around me. I have spent the majority of my life traveling internationally with my family on missions of service. I have participated in medical mission trips, trips to build and reinforce infrastructures and buildings, I have assisted with nutritional needs assessment and fulfillment, educational camps, safety education, and a host of other types of activities directed toward individuals, families, and communities that are under-served and less fortunate. It is this strong commitment to compassionate equity that drives my life's work.
