SOBRE ESTE EPISÓDIO
Quote - “This frail body will house the greatest spirit humanity will
ever know.”
The Afropolitan Podcast spotlights Afropolitans who aren’t afraid to
step into the unknown and walk in purpose. With this podcast we hope
to empower Africans in the Diaspora to harness their full potential
and contribute to the development of a bold and progressive black
community.
Our guests will share their working formulas, the hard facts about
leaving familiar terrain, embracing the unknown, and staying relevant
afterwards.
This episode features Tunde Onakoya, Founder of Chess In Slums Africa;
a non-profit organisation that utilises the game of chess to educate
and empower underprivileged children to achieve far more than their
circumstances.
Tunde holds a National Diploma in Computer Science from Yaba College
of Technology and created Chess in Slums Africa to use chess as a tool
to educate and propel the destiny of children out of poverty.
He is passionate about equaling the playing field and has a goal to
educate 1 million children in slum communities in 5 years.
Listen and enjoy as Tunde talks to us about his journey with Chess In
Slums Africa and redressing the imbalance in society.
