It was a thrill to return to @LSEnews for the official naming of the Sir Arthur Lewis Building — home of @LSEEcon! 🙌🏾 Sir Arthur was LSE’s first Black academic and the UK’s first Black professor. Moving this project from concept to reality was a long, but rewarding journey.

How am I supposed to explain the feeling of hearing this riddim break to people? Man….what a performance. 🥲🥹

Shout out to my coach and mentor Glen Mills - 20 years ago I started working with this legend and it would change the course of my career and life. When I first came onto the professional scene as a sprinter I thought it would be easy… He taught me the importance of learning from losing before I could get to the top. Infinite respect to Coach Mills for everything you taught me - Living legend. 🙏🏿

Today, it is with humility and a great sense of honour that I thank each and every one of the 166 WTO members for the consensus they achieved in supporting my reappointment! Thank you for the wonderful words of recognition and support. I don’t take this lightly. I also want to thank my colleagues in the Secretariat Staff for their dedication and hard work. This is an enormous responsibility and I will redouble my efforts to work with each and every member to try and deliver the results this organization needs, including the necessary reforms to make it fit for 21st century challenges. We’ve done it before, we can do it again! I am also grateful to my family, my country, to the Africa Region, and to all my friends and colleagues from all over the world who have reached out with hundreds of congratulatory messages. Thank you for the recognition!
