" I am so excited to be a Millennium Fellow because this opportunity allows me to better my ideas such that they can have an actual impact, and improve the lives of people in different African communities. Energy is probably the biggest necessity in the world, and it is my life goal to ensure that people can be able to afford it and also utilize it in a way that doesn't harm our environment "
