In this first conversation in the Black Men in Education series, I speak with Leslie Abrokwaa about his transformational journey from prison to Cambridge University.
Leslie speaks openly about his experiences and the importance of living a life of purpose to serve others. He strongly believes in people development. Supporting young people to shift their mindsets from limited to limitless is now his purpose.
This inspiring conversation reminds us all that we can achieve anything we set our minds to.
Leslie’s story – like many of the other men we will hear from in this series – teaches us the importance of perspective.
Our minds are so powerful and as humans we don’t give ourselves enough credit.
Leslie Abrokwaa
CEO & Founder of Passion 4 Purpose
With his 10 years of experience working with young people, Leslie has now birthed Passion 4 Purpose, an organisation that brings carefully crafted services, programmes and workshops for young people. Leslie uses his passion and first hand experiences to develop mindsets ensuring they make informed decisions around the trajectory of their lives.
Investing in the lives of the young people in the here and now empowers young people to develop in their potential and purpose for the greater good of their future. This is the work that Leslie Abrokwaa is committed to.
