Jabulani Mzee

Becoming increasingly dissatisfied with the lack of productive opportunities in his environment, Jabulani knew he had to make a change. On the heels of being expelled from school, he decided to join the Army as an infantryman, where his life began to change.

The military developed within him a sense of pride and purpose, traits that he would lean on as he sought to make a difference in the world. Even more, his first experience abroad made him appreciate the concept of self-determination, and led to an epiphany on the resources that awaited him back home.

After leaving the Army, Jabulani immediately utilized these resources to make a difference. He tutored and advised students at his local community college, and mentored the youth in his hometown.
