Certified Google Project Manager, with 5 years experience in Digital Marketing and proven problem solving skills and a firm believer in due process, worked as an intern for various organizations: Commondove NGO based in India, Interned at IMUN spreading the word on the conference while driving social change. I currently work as a Content writer at Nifty Row. I believe in Trusting your dreams, believing and preparing daily to reach them. I use my imagination to create my life and visualize all I want and through my life I have realized that if you can see it, you can have it. One virtue I have built over the years is “Resilience” TO KEEP ON KEEPING ON I see myself as “Flawsome” Flawed but awesome! I’m a firm believer in Ubuntu the South African word that says “I am because you are”. We are all interdependent on each other, no one is self-sufficient.

I am deeply passionate about driving meaningful change wherever I go. Excellence is my standard, and I strive to leave a lasting impact on my immediate environment, friends, and family. Beyond that, I am a strong advocate for access to quality education, inclusive learning, and the intentional integration of empathy into our daily lives and workspaces. I believe empathy is a powerful yet underutilized tool—one that can transform relationships, foster mutual respect, and enhance collaboration across all spheres of life.

Better Boys, Better World 🌍: For too long, our world has been plagued by the maltreatment of women and girls. This talk aims to inspire young men to become better leaders, challenge patriarchal mindsets, and recognize the immense potential of women—not as objects or sources of pleasure, but as vital contributors to a better future. By fostering respect and advocating for the proper treatment of women in both words and actions, we can reduce the prevalence of rape and violence. When men stand up to promote equality and dignity, they play a crucial role in building a more just and compassionate world. As we look toward the future, I see this idea as a vital step for shaping the next generation of boys and men. In a few years, many of us, currently students, will become parents, raising sons and daughters of our own. As a student of history, I understand that “those who fail to learn from history are doomed to repeat it.” It is crucial that we reflect on the mistakes of the past and not simply stand by and hope for change, but actively work toward creating the future we want. This idea challenges our community to intentionally raise better men and women—individuals who will not only respect and uplift each other, but will also raise boys who treat women with dignity, empathy, and respect. The world we envision is one where women no longer feel unsafe when they see an unfamiliar man behind them, or feel the need to shrink themselves to avoid being labeled as proud. It is a world where women are empowered to thrive without fear or limitation. More importantly, this vision includes men who recognize the strength in supporting women, allowing them to fully embrace their femininity. Together, we can create this world—one boy at a time.

My TED story took a turn for the good when I stumbled on Zain Asher’s talk, “Trust your struggle” I could relate so well because in her talk she was eloquent, not trying to dazzling but just make people understand that working hard does pay. Trusting/believing in yourself everyday is what makes the difference. Through her words she didn’t just share her experience and her thoughts and way of life but she ultimately changed the trajectory of my life. Up until that moment I never intentionally strove for excellence but she changed the definition of struggle. She made me understand that preparing every day, up-killing, learning, unlearning, regardless of where you are now is what prepares you for the better life ahead. Finally she made it clear that she first believe in herself and she kept on, until she got what she wanted. And this one talk, gave me the courage to go on to be part of an 11 man team that organize a TEDx event in my local community; Obafemi Awolowo University. Where through months of planning I was able to not just have my own TED story but contribute to the TED story of people in my local community and the world at large.

Many people might be surprised to learn that I enjoy cooking and cleaning. These simple, everyday tasks hold great importance for daily life, and they also bring me a lot of satisfaction. As a project manager, I believe that organizing your immediate environment is one of the simplest yet most impactful forms of project management. It’s all about creating order, anticipating needs, and maintaining efficiency—skills that are essential both in the kitchen and in any successful project.
