I was selected by the Presidential Office to speak at the 2024 opening event before an audience of over 2,000 people—a moment that underscored the power of voice, presence, and storytelling in real time.

The experience deepened my commitment to using storytelling as a tool for influence, reflection, and cultural impact—one that moves fluidly across physical spaces, digital platforms, and the evolving world we inhabit today
