In May 2025, I earned my Master of Global Business Administration from @FletcherSchool @tufts, and was honored to be inducted into Honos Civicus Society, an acknowledgment of civic leadership. As part of the program, I had the extraordinary opportunity to travel to Athens, Greece as part of the global immersion experience under the theme: “Resilience and Innovation in the Face of Crisis.” There, I met with prime ministers, cabinet officials, think tanks, and diplomats navigating economic resilience and crisis response. Those conversations were unforgettable and have proven to be timely. My capstone project focused on nuclear deterrence and strategic posture in the evolving global order, examining @US_STRATCOM ’s mission to deter strategic attack and maintain safe, secure, effective and credible global combat capability. Just a month later, escalating tensions between the U.S. and Iran made those lessons feel far more than academic. I have had a lifelong affair with learning, and the pursuit of knowledge. From my Associate of Science (Emphasis in Mathematics) degree at @dallascollegetx, which honored me as its 2020 Distinguished Alumni Award Recipient, to my three degrees from @SMU: - B.A. in International Studies (Africa & Middle East Specialization) from @SMUDedman - B.S. in Electrical Engineering, as well as my M.S. Systems Engineering from @lyleengineering Each program has been a steppingstone in my pursuit of purpose-driven leadership. Is this my final degree? Most likely. But it's certainly not the end of my learning journey. More than anything, I now feel a deeper calling to align what I’ve learned with what I’m called to build - for myself, for my community. Thank you to my classmates, professors, mentors, and everyone who pushed me further, intellectually and personally. Here’s to building the next great chapter! #FletcherSchool #TuftsUniversity #Graduation2025 #GlobalBusiness #Leadership #LifelongLearning #LegacyBuilding

The United States is neither omnipotent not omniscient. We are only 6% of the world’s population & we cannot impose our will upon the other 94% of mankind. We cannot right every wrong or reverse each adversity. There cannot be an American solution to every world problem. - JFK

“Even the apartheid regime in South Africa did not dare to say that if a black man kills a white man, he will be executed. But if a white man kills a black man, he will not be. What Israel did…it is exactly that saying that a Palestinian could be sentenced to death penalty, but an Israeli no for the same crime.” -@MustafaBarghou1 on Israel’s new death penalty law.

Today, I met the World Bank team led by Mr. Qimiao Fan, the Division Director for Kenya, Rwanda, Somalia & Uganda and the Country Manager, Francisca Ayodeji Akala at State Lodge Nakasero. I welcome their support for the SGR and agricultural industrialization. Railways, electricity, and affordable financing are key to lowering production costs. The World Bank are now becoming Christians, by promoting global affluence & prosperity for everyone in the world.

Everyone wants a piece of Africa right now. That's one clear takeaway from this article @TheEconomist published last week. 🇺🇸 America wants Africa's critical minerals — copper, nickel, lithium, cobalt — to loosen China's grip on global supply chains. It's using 'commercial diplomacy', government-backed funds, and even aid as leverage to secure access. The prize: $8.6 trillion in undeveloped mineral assets. 🇨🇳 China also wants Africa's minerals — and it wants its markets, too. Chinese firms bought rare-earths in Tanzania, copper in Botswana, gold in Congo, Ghana, and Ivory Coast — all in the last two years. But its firms are also buying farmland, building apartment blocks, and making other scale bets on the continent's rising consumer class. 🇪🇺 Europe wants Africa's energy. TotalEnergies resumed a $20B LNG project in Mozambique. And Eni announced two new African oil and gas discoveries in February. 🇸🇦 🇦🇪 🇶🇦 The Gulf wants Africa's food and logistics. Saudi Arabia's PIF paid $1.8B for a controlling stake in Olam Agri. Vision Invest paid $700M for a stake in Arise IIP, which runs industrial sites in over a dozen African countries. DP World took over the port of Dar es Salaam. And Qatar's state-owned airline Qatar Airways holds a 60% stake in Rwanda's $2B Bugesera International Airport. Engaging with Africa now means doing business, and this new commercial era requires commercial leverage. But that's something most African governments lack individually — at least compared to outside powers. It's an urgent reason to accelerate the pace of economic integration across the continent. The world is figuring out what Africa is worth. The question is whether the continent can negotiate accordingly. -- Afridigest Intelligence — real intelligence to win in Africa's growth markets: afridigest.com/intelligence

Uganda has launched a transit advertising campaign in Rome, promoting tourism along routes near the Colosseum and Roman Forum. The initiative aims to boost global visibility, attract travelers and position tourism as a key driver of Uganda’s economic growth. #ExploreUganda

🚨🇺🇸 Trump: We need $2 billion a day to reopen the Strait of Hormuz US Senator: But it was already open before the war? So what was the point of whole war?

I would like to confirm that last month, we requested CAF to come and conduct an assessment of the state of our sports facilities-@mandelastadium and @HoimaStadium as part of the quality control & assurance measure ahead of the AFCON 2027. It is true that CAF, in their report, cited a few gaps, specifically on Hoima Stadium and such gaps have been brought to the attention of the contractor-SUMMA. Indeed, the contractor has since held several meetings with us and has hands on deck to ensure that the issues raised are addressed in due course to the satisfaction of the CAF requirements and standards before the next inspection in August this year. On other infrastructural gaps, such as airport, roads and hotels, which are outside the ambit of Education and Sports sector, the Minister of Education and Sports, Hon @JanetMuseveni, who is the Chairperson of the Inter-Ministerial Committee for AFCON, submitted a cabinet paper where government agreed to provide additional resources to address such challenges. I want to reassure the public that government of Uganda, together with Kenya and Tanzania under the "East Africa Pamoja" bid is fully committed to ensuring that the AFCON 2027 campaign is a success.

This is truly insane, and it should be front page news across America.  Denmark secretly deployed soldiers to Greenland prepared to blow up airport runways to stop a U.S. invasion. They brought blood supplies to treat the wounded. France, Germany, Norway, and Sweden quietly coordinated against us. This was not a drill. This was our closest allies preparing to fight Americans. Let that sink in. NATO allies. Countries whose soldiers have fought and died alongside ours for decades. They looked at this president and decided they had to prepare for the worst. Fewer allies does not make America great. It makes us more isolated, more vulnerable, and it hands Russia and China exactly what they have always wanted: an America abandoned by its friends. The American people deserve to know how badly this president has damaged our standing in the world.  bbc.com/news/articles/…

Absolute bombshell. Data reveals someone made a massive 580 MILLION dollar trade on oil exactly 15 minutes BEFORE Donald Trump posted his tweet about pausing the Iran war. Someone on the inside just made a life changing fortune. The corruption is blatant.
