The annual Forbes Under 30 Summit was an immersive experience, showcasing the resilience, determination, and success stories of young visionaries, founders, creators, and entrepreneurs who influence many of our daily lives. We heard about the power of optimism, learning from failures, and unwavering belief in one's journey, even in the face of adversity. In short, the real stories of "overnight successes" that were a decade in the making.
With more than $5.3 billion in funding raised by the Forbes 30 Under 30 Class of 2023 Listers drawn from 600 businesses across 20 industries and a combined social media following of 613 million, it is evident that these young leaders are making a global impact.

Harmony in a World in Crisis: World Interfaith Harmony Week 2023 at United Nations
As one of the youth panelists, I talked about the value of having faith as a young person, my upbringing in a religious household in Africa, and how it has protected and shaped my worldview.
World Interfaith Harmony Week is an annual event observed during the first week of February, after the General Assembly's designation in 2010. The General Assembly pointed out that mutual understanding and interreligious dialogue constitute important dimensions of a culture of peace and established World Interfaith Harmony Week as a way to promote harmony between all people, regardless of their faith.
Recognizing the imperative need for dialogue among different faiths and religions to enhance mutual understanding, harmony, and cooperation among people, the General Assembly encourages all states to spread the message of interfaith harmony and goodwill in the world’s churches, mosques, synagogues, temples, and other places of worship during that week, on a voluntary basis and according to their own religious traditions or convictions. working together to achieve peace, gender equality, mental health and well-being, and environmental preservation. The event was organized during World Interfaith Harmony Week (1–7).
