While giving the keynote speech at the forum, US Vice President Kamala Harris said, “I strongly believe that the creativity and ingenuity of Africa’s  young leaders will help us shape the future of the world and that their ideas — your ideas — and innovations and initiatives will benefit the entire world.”

Speaking further about the forum, Maikori said, “I am honoured to be selected as the moderator of this important forum,” said Maikori. “As a young African leader, I am committed to using my platform to advance the narrative of our continent and its people. Through the power of storytelling, we can showcase the rich diversity, talent, and potential of Africa and the diaspora to the world.”
