As an undergrad, I split my time between my studies and volunteering for SFL. I realized I enjoyed reaching out to students, talking about the ideas of liberty, and crafting campaign strategies for events promoting freedom. It didn’t feel like work to me. I graduated in June 2012 and spent the next year in Nigeria’s mandatory National Youth Service. During this time, I focused solely on helping to spread the ideas of liberty in Africa. I knew that I wanted to spend the rest of my life promoting a free society in one way or another, so when I was offered the responsibilities of African Programs Manager with SFL, I did not have to think much about it. I am currently spending a few months living in Kenya to help provide institutional support to our leaders here. Do I enjoy what I do? Absolutely, yes. SFL has provided me with a platform to continue to dedicate my time to promoting the ideas that I am so passionate about. What more can I ask for?
