About this show

The future of Africa relies on the strong leadership of African women. We're privileged to have as our guest a young woman who encapsulates the spirit of young African leadership: Ann Moatshe. After graduating from the Malaysia Campus of Nottingham University with an Honours degree in Electronic and Communications Engineering, Ann was a MILEAD Fellow at the University of Ghana in Accra. The Moremi Initiative Leadership Empowerment and Development (MILEAD) Program identifies and invites young African women and girls to take part in a year-long development program.

A world traveler, Ann has done research to develop solutions for Africa, counseled students from different backgrounds in the basics of Christianity, and worked closely with survivors of breast cancer. And in the future she wants to devote herself to improving inter-cultural relations within Africa and between Africa and the world.
