Who will lead Africa?Forward, onward, fully into the land of its potential.To the realization of the blossoming dream of prosperity held by so many, for so long, throughout this place we call home.Again I ask, Who Will Lead Africa?This volume includes the response to that African Town Crier's call. Thirty submissions. Exemplars of everyday African Leaders. Today's leaders. Defying the narrative of impossible and working for the prosperity of Africa. These are but a sample of the movement...We Will Lead Africa contributes an open call to practitioners to join the African Leadership conversation, and allow practice to further inform our theorizing and conclusions of where we are now and what more is needed to attain the Africa we want. It is a shift from viewing leadership in Africa from the sociopolitical lens or a theoretical lens, to a focus on leadership at every level. It neither denies the overemphasized challenges of the continent, nor privileges the Africa rising narrative. This volume simply draws on the power of personal narratives to highlight all the complexities of the challenges and inspirations of leading in Africa. It is about the power of storytelling to inspire even more change and shape the futures we want.

These submissions are from Bolanle Austen-Peters, Liza Bel (on behalf of four Africans), Mina Girgis, Ricardo Pinto Jorge and Simon Okelo.- Four on Healthcare and Wellness - addressing healthcare needs and practices for those on the margins - girls, rural populations, autistic children, and youth seeking novel opportunities. These submissions are from Toks Bakare, LueRachelle Brim-Atkins, Pablo Imani, Robert Kalyesubula.- Four on Med...
