Zambians Promoting Leadership in America (ZLA) hosted a black tie event in Atlanta to celebrate Zambia's 50th independence anniversary.  I was honored to be asked to speak about giving back to support the next generation of Zambians.  Congratulations to Freda Mwamba Brazle and the ZLA committee for organizing a wonderful jubilee. Here are a few photos from the event. Receiving plaques of appreciation: (L-R) Thomas Konditi, Senator Donzella James, Innocent Mulenga, yours truly, and Freda Brazle.

I had the pleasure of meeting members of a trade mission delegation from Kwazulu-Natal (South Africa) who were visiting the San Francisco Bay Area.  The group aspire to develop an innovation hub in the Zululand region.  Above is the picture of members of the group at the Ritz-Carlton in San Francisco with Consular-General Cyril Ndaba to whom I owe thanks for making the connection.
