Join The U-Turn Leadership Series as we honor Wangari Maathai and uncover the lessons in courage, advocacy, and purpose that continue to shape Africa’s next generation of leaders.

Wangari Maathai’s leadership reminds us that true transformation begins at the roots. She didn’t wait for permission. She planted a tree. She didn’t ask for change she became the change.

As founder of the Green Belt Movement, Maathai empowered thousands of women, restored millions of trees, and reshaped how the world saw Africa: not as a continent in crisis, but as a continent of solutions.

Her leadership was not about position, but purpose. Not about power, but people.

She taught us that impact is built on courage, and advocacy is born from love , love for community, for justice, and for the earth.

Welcome to The U-TURN Talks!

We’re excited to introduce a new storytelling series, Turning Points, a documentary-style conversation under The U-TURN Platform.

Each episode will explore the lives and leadership journeys of iconic African leaders past and present who have inspired transformational change across the continent.

Through storytelling, history, and deep reflection, Turning Points will uncover how these leaders’ character, vision, and resilience can guide today’s youth and women leaders toward purposeful and impactful leadership.

Join us for this coming show as we launch the first episode of Turning Points.
Let’s talk, learn, and reflect together because leadership is not just about power; it’s about purpose, resilience, and impact.
