This year, seven Fellowship Alumni were selected as 2023 Obama Foundation Africa Leaders. As part of the program, five of them traveled to Athens, Greece, to engage with Obama Leaders from all cohorts. During their time, the leaders had the opportunity to meet former President Barack Obama and discussed the unique challenges they are facing and the ways they plan to advance their work going forward.
