Between wrapping up my summer internship at Xbox, planning and hosting a full-scale U.S. Gala for Ntha Foundation, and relaunching my first book By the End of Your Teens โ I found myself teetering on the edge of burnout more than once. I was trying to do it all.

After over a decade working across public, nonprofit, and multilateral systems โ from the grassroots to the United Nations Headquarters โ Iโve come to understand that development is rarely about what we do. Itโs about how we think. And whom we center.
By the End of Your Teens
This June, I reintroduced By the End of Your Teens โ the first installment in what will be a growing series of reflections on growth, identity, and navigating life as a young person with ambition.
