A level where we see each other, where we trust each other, but where we also believe we’re here on assignment. And where we are here because we have a legacy that is bigger and deeper than our own.” -Ndidi [12:20] TIMESTAMPS [00:00] Intro [04:43] History of ONE Campaign [08:07] Ndidi’s vision for Africa [13:30] Humanity and equity [17:06] Outro REFERENCES For the Good of the Public Summit Ndidi Okonkwo Nwuneli, President and CEO of ONE Campaign Drop the Debt campaign President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR) TED Talk: The role of faith and belief in modern Africa CONNECT WITH US: Website: www.ccpubliclife.org X: @CCPublicLife Facebook: Center for Christianity & Public Life Instagram: @ccpubliclife Learn more about your ad choices.
