I have served in multiple leadership positions and won a good number of awards. I believe that most people turn out the way they do due to the environment in which they grew up, their experiences, and the opportunities made available to them. This is why I decided to establish my foundation in order to provide a conducive environment for these young people, provide them with better life experiences, and provide them with good opportunities to help them become great people.

I am the founder and CEO of both the E.Y.A. Foundation for African Leaders and Mental Health Affairs. Mental Health Affairs is also an NGO that was started in 2021 to increase awareness of mental health issues and also to help reduce the stigma and discrimination that exist against people living with mental health conditions. It has been integrated into the E.Y.A. foundation as a subset now.
