Please describe your vision of a world that works for everyone.
My vision is to see a world in which every person lives in alignment with his/her opinion emphasizing unity and connection with each other; giving a person or group of people power and control, especially over one\’s own life and over their rights. Through this process, individuals or a group of people become stronger and more confident, especially with respect to making their own decisions; make a world for everyone in gaining the ability to generate choices and exercise bargaining power. My vision is to discover the creative power of thought; a world where every person discovers his/her own personal power and ability to create an individual life that works within a world that works for everyone. The big picture for me is a world where personal responsibility joins with social ethics in every area of political, economic and social sectors, providing sustainable structures to further the emerging global consciousness. My vision in leadership is to create a world where there is equality, equity and democracy; a world of peace, harmony, equality and justice. My vision is to have the ability to organize and influence the direction of social change to create a more just social and economic order, nationally and internationally that works for everyone.
What do you see as the most pressing problems facing the world today?
The most pressing problem facing the world today is food security which is the biggest threat to the overall health of the human population communicable diseases like hepatitis, cholera, malaria, tuberculosis and HIV. And I saw the other most urgent and overwhelming problem facing the world today is COVID-19 pandemic. I see gender inequality is also the most pressing problem facing the world. Although women make up approximately half of the population, there have historically been social barriers to economic and personal freedom for women, especially in low and middle-income settings. And rates of violence against women; this places women at greater risk of mental health issues caused by trauma as well as sexually transmitted infections. Environmental issues are also the most critical problems facing the world today which also leads to conflict and instability between countries and within the country.
How do you feel these problems could best be solved?
I feel these problems could best be solved by advanced political leadership immediately to promote urgent and coordinated global action. The world needs an urgent need for leaders to understand these most pressing problems that we are facing today. Currently it is exactly the time that people look to leaders to provide stability, security, equality and a better future, confidence to project a clear strategy and the humility to correct course and recognize the need for change. Leaders who have to think globally while acting locally needed. The ability to negotiate towards a consensus while maintaining integrity is crucial in order to thrive in a rapidly changing world and in bringing solutions for these problems. No longer is a leader simply a person who can make inspiring and good speech. Convincing people to make positive changes such as changing our habits to better sustain the earth on which we live is the job of the true leader. Walk the talk is needed. Developing an effective and coherent global policies and regulations and ensuring the provision of coordinated policy, technical and financial assistance are also best ways I feel could be best solutions to solve these urgent problems our world is facing.
