  • Guess Who’ll Be Attending The Queens Young Leaders Award Ceremony at Buckingham Palace Tonight?!

    Hi lovelies,

    Welcome to another brand new week!

    Yesterday was Father’s Day and you bet it was awesome. Congratulations again to all the wonderful Dad’s out there.

    I’m so excited about this week, especially about today.

    You will recall that a few months ago, I was promoting the Queens Young Leaders Award on this blog while encouraging young Nigerians who are partaking in worthy leadership and charity causes in their communities to register. I’m so glad that four young Nigerian leaders were selected to receive this award. They are Isaiah Owolabi of HACEY Health Initiative; Kelvin Ogholi of UNFIRE; Nkechikwu Azinge of The Sickle Cell Aid Foundation and Oladipupo Ajiroba of The Environmental Advocacy and Management Initiative.

    So today, I will be attending the award ceremony with my hubby at the Buckingham Palace on a special invitation from the Queen! Now you know why I’m excited.

    Here's a copy of my invite!
    Here’s a copy of my invite! Yay!!! 

    These four Nigerians are among 60 inspirational young people aged 18-29 across the Commonwealth who will receive their award from Her Majesty the Queen later today and will be rewarded with a bespoke package of mentoring, training and networking, which will help them realize their full potential. With this they can go on to inspire other young people to help shape the future of the Commonwealth.

    I promise to bring you more gist and photos from the event later.

    Have a fab week everyone!

    Hi SL Fabz,

    I sincerely hope your day is going great!

    As you know, I’ve always been an avid supporter of young people who are doing great things to affect people’s lives in their communities, which is why I’m so glad to join the campaign to search and celebrate young people across the Commonwealth nations under the QUEEN’S YOUNG LEADERS CAMPAIGN.

    The Campaign invites Young Nigerian leaders to be recognized for their brilliance and community engagement. In July 2014, Prince William and Prince Harry helped launch The Queen’s Young Leaders Awards, a prestigious new programme established by The Queen Elizabeth Diamond Jubilee Trust in partnership with Comic Relief and The Royal Commonwealth Society.

    The Queen’s Young Leaders Programme will identify, celebrate and nurture inspirational young people across the Commonwealth nations who are making a difference in their communities.

    So guys, THE SEARCH IS ON right now in Nigeria to find the next Queens Young Leader! It’s a really exciting opportunity. I am very sure our young Nigerian rising leaders will step up to the plate and make us proud.

    Are you doing something to positively affect the lives of people in your community or do you know anyone you think deserves this award? You can apply or nominate someone today!
