Welcome to my digital living room. This is where I keep track of what I'm building, reading, listening to, and thinking about. Pull up a chair — look around. Everything here, like me, is a work in progress.
About
Creator. Schwarzman Scholar. Skoll Fellow. Stanford MBA.
- •I self-taught the piano just so I could live out my John Legend dream of singing and playing the keyboard on a TEDx stage
- •Worked across five industries before graduating undergrad because I couldn't seem to pick a lane; some things don't change
- •While an intern at Meta, I published a 3000-word internal memo on strategies for hiring more underrepresented minorities that got executive buy-in from as high up as Zuck's lieutenants
- •Attended 3 Model UN conferences on two continents over the span of 2 years before I turned 18 cos I thought I wanted to be a diplomat
- •I ended up the first student from an African university to get admitted to the 2+2 deferred MBA programs at both Stanford & Harvard business schools even though I almost never applied
