SAMSON ADEYEMI, 22
CEO, SPEAK 2 SAMSON
I have been leading and inspiring many young people for over 6 years now. I am 22 years old but my achievements, awards, and impact made till date speak for themselves.
I was voted by the young people in Lewisham to represent them in the UK Youth Parliament (UKYP)I spoke in the House of Lords during a UKYP debate. I represented young people again in 2009 in the House of Commons. Once interviewed and shown on BBC News. I featured in Local newspapers for outstanding achievements.
I believe I have done well over a thousand hours of volunteering. From the year 2007, I volunteered as a Youth advisor for Dare London (London Youth & Greater London Authority). Also up until June 2007, I volunteered as Study support assistant (Volunteer) at Millwall FC’s study support centre. I was a Young commissioner for Lewisham from 2007 to 2009. On the 8th April 2009, I received a Gold Duke of Edinburg Award for being a Young Manager for Lewisham. On the 11th March 2009, I also received Greenwich Borough’s ‘Do the right thing award’: Young Citizen Award winner. Since then, I have been speaking at various Youth events across the country. Now I am a Youth Affairs Director in a Branch of an international charity. Loveworld Incorporated. I offer free tutorials and exam preps to students. I believe strongly in giving back to society.
My first book will soon be published soon.
