YP Forum: We Are the Leaders We Have Been Looking For

Inspired by the renowned academic Dr. Eddie Glaude's transformative work, this session builds on the notion that leadership is not confined to the corridors of power but resides within each of us. Dispensing with the conventional reliance on career politicians to lead change, this discussion will challenge attendees to harness their collective power and forge a path toward a more equitable and democratic society. Explore case studies of ordinary citizens driving positive changes and discover how youth leaders can apply practical, proven strategies for grassroots mobilization and civic engagement. Both a leadership lab and a call to action, this session marks the beginning of the next chapter in social justice. Dr. Glaude’s book offers the blueprint: “We Are the Leaders We Have Been Looking For.”
