“I run a dance school for teenagers and young adults. I also help organize flash mobs to generate publicity for companies and NGOs.”
Why dance? “Dance is a natural way to express yourself. Young people have a lot of energy that must be channeled properly. My company, ReDance Africa, gives youth an avenue to discover their talents. We also provide mentoring to help guide them in making positive life choices.”
