Every year at the Baobab Summit, Mastercard Foundation Scholars have a chance to enter the Speak Your Mind contest, where they share personal insights around the theme of the Baobab Summit. This year’s reimagine theme is one that resonates strongly with Scholars. From spoken word to speeches, from dance to videos, each piece is poignant, compelling and deeply personal. Thank you for submission.
Winners have been invited to perform their piece live at this year’s second virtual Summit. Here are just a few.
