“As leaders, it’s our responsibility to not only focus on our own growth but also on the growth of those around us. We must collectively equip ourselves to handle the challenges that come with leadership and work towards building up our people in all aspects of life – economically, socially, mentally, and spiritually.  This is how we will change the trajectory of our communities. Remember, we are only as strong our weakest link.”
