🇺🇳 DELIVERING A FULL STATEMENT AT THE UNITED NATIONS 🇺🇳
Dreams become reality one step, one conversation and one act of courage at a time.
A few years ago, TechCeFaCos Group invited me to become their Patron and Main Representative to the United Nations because they believed our shared vision and our thoughtcleadership deserved a global platform.
That conversation led to the creation of the Global Empowerment & Inclusion Summits in Geneva.
Since then...
✨ 6 visits to the United Nations
✨ 4 UN visits in 2026 alone
✨ 2 Global Empowerment & Inclusion Summits
✨ Participation at CSW70
✨ And now delivering a full statement at the United Nations High Level Political Forum in New York.
The flights were never the achievement.
The impact was.
In 2025, our Summit discussions became an official UN Statement.
In 2026, our Summit produced a Joint Communiqué that was published and taken to the High Level Political Forum.
Then came the invitation.
We showed up.
And I stood before Member States to deliver our collective voice.
This belongs to everyone who has walked this journey with us. To the TechCeFaCos youth, women and partners in the global south.
To the youth in Gembu State
Those in Cameroon
Nigeria
To our partners.
To our delegates.
To our speakers.
To our sponsors.
To Wales.
To every person who believes that collaboration creates lasting change.
🎥 Watch until the end...
It's worth it.
Thank you Emmanuel Sevidzem Liynyuy, Mfikela Jean and Samuel for trusting me and partnering with Mastering Diversity.

Making Interventions at the UN High Level Political Forum🇺🇳
Addressing the Esteemed Panel on Powering Green Growth: Inclusive Solutions for Energy and Industry through Agro Value Chains- SDG 7 SDG9 amd SDG 17 with the Council for Palm Oil Producing Countries...
What a privilege to say the names of TechCeFaCos Group and Mastering Diversity in the High Level Political Forum at the United Nations New York.
Grateful that the Executive Director of the World Bank did not make short thrift of what he admitted was a difficult question. I just felt it needed to be answered. I know it is a question that needs to be considered with intent.
More opportunities for conversations that create questions that lead to careful thought and meaningful action continue at the 4th Annual Mastering Diversity Conference 2026👇

Daily Musings- Day 1
What a joy to speak to Mara from the UAE living in New York, attending university and showed up to support her very impressive dad who works for the UN and does major great works globally.
as we hear her take on gender.
The World Is Listening. 🌍
What began as conversations across communities in Wales is now part of a global conversation.
Following the Global Empowerment & Inclusion (GEI) Summit in Geneva, where Mastering Diversity CIC proudly served as the Strategic Knowledge Partner to TechCeFaCos Group, an organisation with ECOSOC consultative status at the United Nations ( for I am Patron and their Main Rep to the UN), I'm now at the UN High-Level Political Forum in New York continuing that journey.
Together, we've helped create a platform where ideas, lived experience and practical solutions travel beyond conference rooms and onto the international stage.
On 10 September, we'll do it all again.
Join the Mastering Diversity ecosystem as leaders from business, government, education, health, sport, justice and communities come together—not just to talk about change, but to shape it.
