Esperance Luvindao

"We do not work to be acknowledged, but to be acknowledged for doing the work you love is a different kind of blessing. This is my first international humanitarian award."

"I am really passionate about public health, and assisting people from poor backgrounds and the north was a better fit for me."

"Being a confident orator has gotten me into rooms I’ve only dreamt of. How you speak changes everything."

"The emergence of social media platforms like Clubhouse has reiterated the importance of speech, a social media platform where all that matters is what you say and how you say it has reminded many that public speaking is of utmost importance."

"The aim is to establish the largest public speaking school in the world and train the world’s greatest speakers."

"I am still trying to process this award. I’m still in awe. Hearing the news that I had won the award was a cherished but emotional moment. It has been years of hard work, sleepless nights and a lot of mental exhaustion."
