my latest piece for @ForeignPolicy looks at a new form of disinformation warfare, adversarial AI that could upended democracies everywhere. Here’s how African leaders can save the day. w/ @FrancesHaugen @LindiMazibuko @PCunliffeJones @african_stream foreignpolicy.com/2024/06/21…

Thanks @elonmusk for removing our blue tick on #EidAlFitr - what a thoughtful and timely gift 😂🤦🏾‍♂️ That aside, Eid Mubarak to all those observing this long weekend 🌙 – at Stockholm, Sweden

So excited to join the @CambridgeJBS #disinformation Summit featuring the impeccable @FrancesHaugen as a headlining speaker!

It's official! I'm now Paris based with @iccwbo looking at how we can avert catastrophic events of the future that could lead to market and civilizational collapse.

A famine that could kill 300,000 Somali children (under 5) by September. A reminder that poor children are paying the cost of climate inaction - literally with their lives.

I am proud to be a Trustee at @queenscomtrust! This week, Her Majesty The Queen joined young leaders driving transformational change in their communities. Watch the conversation below w/ @NicolaBrentnall youtu.be/GyoeTV5JKwE

@tristanharris in an Oz interview, you mentioned that organizational theory tells us you’d have to fire 70% of the staff to reinstate a new culture and way of work. Did you have a reference for this study?

Please see my latest piece for @ForeignPolicy. I hope you will enjoy! foreignpolicy.com/2021/04/03…

My latest Forbes piece asks, does philanthropy have a race problem? Donors love to feature people of colour in external comms but are these voices truly included in decision making? ⁦@JeromeFosterII⁩ ⁦@BeverlyJohnson1⁩ ⁦@margianta⁩ forbes.com/sites/worldeconom…

The next generation are debt-ridden and unemployed. Worse, they will bear the ultimate burden of the covid recession. This is why we need a youth centred recovery plan.

I believe #EndSars is the most consequential movement for millennial Africa. The change led by Nigerian youth will undoubtedly inspire similar calls to end militarised policing across the continent as well. #EndSarsNow #AfricaIsBleeding qz.com/africa/1127083/nigeri…

@emilywornell loved your research on the health implications of automation (as well as the intergenerational costs). Brilliant insights 👍🏾 – at Collonge-Bellerive, Suisse

What I’ve come to learn over the last 3 years: 1. When your relationship with a higher power is hit-or-miss, so too is your life. 2. Being the first in your community is nice but the true honour lies in ensuring you are not the last. 3. I’m actually a Nigerian prince. – at Geneva, Switzerland

This is what it means to centre philanthropic work around humility and service as opposed to ones own desire to find existential meaning and praise. forbes.com/sites/stevenberto…

future youth movements should be based on intergenerational allyship. Pairing the enthusiasm of the next generation with the wisdom and experience of those past and present.

Today’s youth are the first to weather through two global recessions in their formative years. We desperately need to reset and reimagine our economic systems. #TheGreatReset

Julia Gillard was well ahead of our time. I’m not sure that we’ve truly grasped the value of her leadership and visibility #qanda

@NyadolNyuon please let me remind you of just how much of an inspiration you are to African Australians like me. Your thought leadership is next level 🙏🏾

Fantastic chat with Harry & Meghan on tackling systemic racism #BlackLivesMatter
