May Greetings Glocal Citizens! With May Day just behind us, in this two-part conversation, my guest and I touch on topics very related to the evolving nature of work and especially the role that his organization LEAP Africa is playing in preparing African youth for roles and responsibilities in all forms and on all levels of leadership.
