Youth Spotlight - Tisungane
Why did you decide to join the GEAS Global Youth Advisory Board?
I decided to join Geas because I'm very much passionate about the life of adolescents since this is a critical stage where one has to make a decision for his or her future life.
Which issue or topics are you interested in (e.g. mental health, youth employment, ending gender-based violence, climate change, etc)?
I am interested on issues to do with gender-based violence and youth employment.
What kind of job would you like to do later in life?
I would love to be a minister of youth in my country.
Who inspires you and why?
I'm very much inspired by Madam Pansi Katenga who was the country director at Ipas in Malawi. She is a very strong woman and focused. I would love to be like her.
What are some of your favorite hobbies?
I like traveling and meeting new people.
If you could be any animal, what would you be and why?
I would be a Lion - king of the jungle!
