Aniaba Jean-Baptiste
Author | Speaker | Aspiring Neuroscientist
Born and raised in Abidjan, Côte d'Ivoire, I am a Nomadic Griot and B.O.L.D. Entrepreneur on an inexorable destiny to lead, inspire, and empower tellurians en route into the 22nd century, one project at a time. I am currently at Morehouse College, triple majoring in Mathematics, Computer Science, and Economics on an Oprah Winfrey Scholarship. I am a proud graduate of the African Leadership Academy, based in Johannesburg, South Africa (2020), and the Lycée Scientifique de Yamoussoukro, Côte d'Ivoire (2018).
Today, I use my voice and platform to connect with the world across cultural spheres, nations, and continents.
I have been fortunate to introduce globally renowned trailblazers such as Nobel Peace Prize Winner Denis Mukwege, President David A. Thomas, and most recently, Atlanta Legend Mack Wilbourn at the 36th Candle in the Dark Gala in front of 1700 attendees. Just as stories unite people, I believe that great stories unite great people. Speaking with fire, distinction, and from the heart is a cultural heritage of mine. I am a self-published author, App Designer, Podcast Host, and I serve as the Founding President of Africa's 1st Pan-African Alliance of Young Entrepreneurs (PAYE).
My Speech "Be B.O.L.D.", given at the Historic Friendship Baptist Church in Atlanta has reached over 5000 young people, and still resonates in the hearts of many who realize that oftentimes, what stands in our way on our journey to excellence is the fear we cultivate hence the need to "Be B.O.L.D.".
