Hello, everyone. My name is Ukemeabasi Esiet and I am twenty-three years old.
I'm an aspiring social activist and I am passionate about making a difference in
the world.
I was born in Lagos, Nigeria, and I completed my primary education in Lagos
and my secondary education in Abuja.
My vision is of a world where our basic human needs are met and we can
pursue the goals that matter to us.
I believe that Zeitgeist can help to make this vision our reality.
I want to attend Zeitgeist 2012 because I want to meet people who
are passionate about making a difference.
I want to make my vision a reality and I want to help other young people to do the
same.
I'm currently working with Second Nature, Inc. promoting Education for
Sustainability,
making connections with people doing interesting work, and taking classes.
I also blog about issues in culture, technology and social development.
I share inspirational messages and promote the work of other idealists
around the world, but I focus on young Africans.
In the past I have worked with the Capital Area Food Bank in Washington D.C. and
volunteered at Action Health Incorporated in Lagos, Nigeria.
I was also a student leader and I have spoken
to young Nigerians about higher education
in the United States and about using social media to promote their social
development work.

Thank you for your time and I look forward to meeting you soon.
