“Dr. Kenneth Kaunda is such an inspiration to me! When you see oppression amongst the people you call your fellow citizens, even if you are the underdog, your conviction that ‘better is possible’ will give you the drive to fight. “He was an activist against the spread of HIV/AIDS in Zambia. He loved Zambian sports and supported them but what stood out the most for me was how much he believed in the unity of Zambia and Africa! He used his influence creatively to inspire peace, unity and love! He used his voice and spoke up for justice and equality! I’ll forever be inspired by him,” she said.
