🇨🇲 It Changed Me Forever 🌍

I came to the Junior G20 Summit as a high school debater from Cameroon, unsure of what to expect. I left with a fire in my heart and a truth I’ll never forget:
We, the youth, are not too small to lead.
We are not just the future, we are the now.

Sitting among young leaders from around the world, I realized that my voice mattered. That our ideas, our dreams, and our courage can shape policies, shift perspectives, and spark change.

This video is my story.
It’s about finding confidence, representing my country, and learning that leadership doesn’t wait for age, it responds to purpose.

Thank you to Baseline Orators Network for preparing me, believing in me, and giving me the tools to speak with power and clarity.

If you’ve ever doubted your voice, this is for you.
Cameroon is rising and I’m proud to be part of that rise.

Beyond the classroom, beyond the campus—true learning happens when students are challenged on a global stage.

We are thrilled to share that four of our outstanding students recently had the transformative experience of representing Cameroon at the Pan-African Schools Debating Championship (PASDC) in Johannesburg, South Africa.

They engaged in rigorous intellectual discourse, embraced diverse perspectives from across the continent, and grew not just as debaters, but as confident global citizens and ambassadors for our nation.

This trip, made possible through our leadership initiatives, is a testament to our commitment to providing real-world opportunities that shape the leaders of tomorrow.
