I’ve met many inspiring leaders in my life, but none quite like Mr. Okendo Lewis-Gayle. Tall as a tree and as warm as the sun, he has a gravitational pull that lifts everyone around him up toward new heights from which a shared vision can be seen. In 2008, spurred by some personal advice from then Senator Obama, Okendo founded the Harambe Entrepreneur Alliance to cultivate the entrepreneurial spirit on the African continent. Piloted by the Swahili message, “Let’s all put together,” the alliance has become the largest and most powerful network of African ventures, collectively valued at over $1 billion, with over $400 million in investment and support from Y Combinator, Chan Zuckerberg Initiative, CISCO, and others. Notable success stories include Andela, which secured $100 million in funds from Generation Investment management to train 100,000 tech leaders across Africa by 2025, and Flutterwave, which has processed $2.5 billion payments and 100 million transactions processed for its 50 bank partners in Africa attracting major global investment players like Uber and Flywire. More inspiring than the numbers is the Harambe Declaration itself. "We publish and declare our intention to work together as one to unleash the potential of our people… We refuse to lose our knowledge that man’s proper estate is an upright posture, an intransigent mind and a step that travels unlimited roads… We will check our road and the nature of our battle. Yet in the end, the Africa our generation desires can be won. It exists, it is real, it is possible. It is ours." After 12 years of grassroots effort, Harambe has secured a compelling track record and support from several of the world’s most powerful foundations. On February 28th, to mark a new era for the alliance, Harambeans, advisors, and supporters gathered in the Franschhoek wine country of South Africa for the inaugural Harambeans Global Summit.
