FEEL THE BEAT: ART4LEADERSHIP "03






Our third edition was entitled MZALENDO which is a swahili word for "PATRIOT." It was a wonderful event bringing together young people over a conversation about Patriotism. We are grateful to our Speakers: Ms. Shikoh Kihika, the founder of Tribeless Youth and the NakuruYouth Bunge President Mr. Philip Ng’ok. The duo challenged the bright minds to take initiative realizing that the change Africa needs is within us.
The event started with a performance from Dowe Music Band with patriotic music from iconic legends like the late Oliver Mtukudzi. The audience would later on be treated to an own composition that left everyone pledging to stand for what is right and promote Nationhood.

During the panel discussion, Ms. Shikoh maintained that the youths need to read the constitution not only to demand for their rights but also to be able to fight for the less fortunate. In the same vein, Mr.Ng’ok called out for Servant Leadership attitude as well as the love for one another as Citizens.
A presentation from the youngest guitarist-Kyle stunned everyone and when asked how he managed to learn the instrument and could play effortlessly, he said, “Just feel the beat.” 
This in my own opinion is a great insight about life in general. One needs to study how systems work, in order to either fit in or course a change. Dear reader, do you want to bring about real transformation? You’ve got to do some study, listen, read and observe, in Kyle’s word, feel the beat!
Then came the opportunity hour! Various scholarship opportunities were broadcast with fellows and alumni sharing tips on how to make applications. Among other institutions represented were YALI RLC, Mandela Washington Fellowship (which is on course currently until 3rd August 2019), Chevening which was represented by Mr. Stuart Kasozi from Uganda, Emerging Leaders Foundation represented by Anne Kinyua, Cohort 6 Alumnus. The Kenya National Library Services was represented by it’s ICT officer Mr. Joseck Olala who shared a number of authentic courses offered at the Library free of charge.
Now you know, you don’t want to miss the next event which will be announced here in due time. Stay tuned and be a good citizen or at lead, Mzalendo!
