I am originally from Cameroon, Africa and a resident of Arizona since 2009. I am Director of Operations at -Cadens Health and Wellness- in Laveen, Arizona where we serve individuals struggling with substance abuse and mental health. I feel blessed to put my backgrounds in healthcare and law to practical use every day. I am an unapologetic globally minded follower of international affairs, with a conscious bias on Africa because Africa is the poorest continent. I currently serve on the boards of Northern Arizona Independent Oversight Committee (NAIOC), the Cameroon Arizona Partnership (CAP) and now Global Ties Arizona.
“Citizen diplomacy is one of the most effective, effortless and efficient vehicles of building mutually beneficial, peaceful and rewarding cross border relationships. Citizen diplomacy is especially effective because the informal interactions are built on a bedrock of genuine goodwill to learn and be of service to humankind. There are no high stakes negotiations, no formal diplomatic protocols and galas, no well-crafted press releases and photo ops; rather we have community members from different countries learning about local cuisine, culture, traditions and history etc. with the common goal of enriching the other by building lasting relationships. Citizen diplomacy is indeed the foundation upon which formal diplomacy thrives.”
