21 years ago, Ian was my college teacher during my unruly days. Now, I’m the one leading sessions at @WBA and I’m taller too! Big thanks to Ian, Simon, and the WBA family for allowing me to engage the boys, and to the @premierleague for making this possible. The SOLVE way 🌏

Taking the @CyvcSolve youth team to Dublin reminded me of my first international session in 2010. Proud of their work with Finglas Cabra Task Force—training, workshops, community engagement. Nelson Mandela: “A leader is like a shepherd…” This defines our journey.
