Stephany Zoo is one of the young people working on supporting economic and entrepreneurial development in Africa. She's on the ground bridging the gaps between the people and the forces driving African economies and China. Currently splitting her time between Nairobi, Cape Town and China, she is the outgoing Curator of the Global Shapers Shanghai II Hub, a multi-stakeholder community born out the World Economic Forum which boasts almost 9,000 "Shapers" in 400 Hubs across 150 countries. As a part of Global Shapers, Stephany's had a hand in driving the local community's mission of inspiring people under the age of 30 to work together to address local, regional and global challenges. Members in the local Hubs self-organize to create projects that address the needs of their community. Projects are as wide-ranging as their members are diverse - in expertise, education, income and race - and they are all united by a desire to bring about change.
