The Pan-African Leadership Institute (PALI) recently launched its Gateway to Africa Leadership Course, a transformative program designed to strengthen ties between Africa and its diaspora. Hosted via Zoom on November 10, the event featured remarks from Vashti G Guyadeen, CEO of the TT Chamber of Industry and Commerce and PALI ambassador. The course welcomed 25 senior leaders from 13 countries, including Ghana, Rwanda, Jamaica, Canada, the UK, the USA, and Italy, reflecting the program’s global reach and commitment to diversity. Guyadeen emphasized the importance of this initiative in fostering unity and collaboration across continents. The four-week course offers participants a comprehensive exploration of Africa’s history, culture, economics, and emerging markets, alongside practical insights into doing business and traveling on the continent. It also addresses the legacy of colonization and ongoing efforts to heal and unite Africa with its diaspora. Guyadeen highlighted the program’s interactive nature, encouraging participants to engage in discussions, share perspectives, and build lasting professional and personal connections. She also extended an invitation to PALI’s 2025 Graduation and Leadership Immersion ceremony in Trinidad and Tobago, where participants can experience the country’s rich culture and forge deeper bonds with global leaders. The course underscores PALI’s mission to create a connected Pan-African world, empowering leaders to drive impactful change in their communities.
