“The Voyage Continues”

  1. What do you do in your line of work?

Answer: I serve as a young professional transformational Speaker and Coach, who focuses on sharing my expertise in public speaking and other related art of communications.  

Answer: In my first year in high school precisely Prince Of Wales Senior secondary school, I was opportuned to represent my stream/faculty inter-stream debate competition, where I was faced with the biggest and most embarrassing moment of my life. On that day, I first handedly expirenced both the verbal and physical signs of glossophobia. I was laughed at by everyone at the L&D’s session and was disgracefully critized of not being a good debater. Ever since then I started working on myself to defeat that fear in me of speaking in public. Therein, I establish THE ANTI-GLOSSOPHOBIA ACADEMY to help not only groom people become better spakers but also help both pupils and students navigate the fear of public speaking which will enable them to unleash their hidden and sophisted potentials and not to ever face or go through what I went through during my school days.

  • Before setting up this organization, Where have you work or Volunteer before and what position did you hold ?

Answer: I have worked with and also volunteered for several organizations or institutions like NASSNET – National senior secondary school new network as a news presenter and Presidential Adviser, SLDC IPAM CHAPTER As a Public speaking Coach And subsequently Vice President for the same chapter. Patriotic Advocacy Network – PAN SL  as an Associate Member, IIMUN – Initiative for International Model United Nations Conference as a Chairperson for UNFPA Commitee, SIMUN – Sierra Leone Model United Nations As Chairperson for UNSC Committee and SOCHUM, DRIMUN as President of UNGA and many more…

  • As the founder of the  The Anti-Glossophobia Academy, geared towards helping young people defeat their public speaking anxiety, what would you say enable you to start up this initiative ?

Answer: It’s the fact, I have envisioned the impacts it will create and have seen great need to embark on such voyage to help make sierra leone and beyong a better place where people will utilize the skills of public speaking to better themselves and their societies.

Reflecting on your childhood or early youthful age, what was/were the difficult things you did to survive, acquire education or any of your dream?  Smiling, I smiled because I have done the odds and worse of things one could imagine, now just imagine coming from a humble background fron the interior part of the country where literally the quality of education or facilities are not available by any means unless you travel to the capital where everything is barely situtated. Standing out from there was barely a grace and also a myth but Alhamdulillah I am here today and also making the mark one could be proud of. The voyage continues.

  • Who is Your Greatest Inspirsation

The yesterday Augustine Martin Martinezz who was disgracefully embarassed and laughed at.

What would be your message to Sierra Leoneans?
