Investing in Humanity | Tunde Onakoya | TEDxCovenantUniversity
Investing in humanity might seem like a project that only international organizations can handle, however, as one who had been invested in by someone else, Tunde simplifies the process of investing in others by telling his own story and the story of his non-profit organization, Chess in Slums. Tunde Onakoya is the founder of Chess in Slums Africa and a Nigerian chess master, instructor, and coach. Chess in Slums Africa started is a volunteer driven non-profit organization which aims to empower young ones in impoverished communities by using the game of chess.
In Lagos, he has coordinated a variety of initiatives for children in slums such as Majidun (Ikorodu), Makoko, and, most recently, Oshodi. The youngsters participate in a two-week session in which they learn to read, write, and develop fundamental literacy skills while playing the game of chess. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at www.ted.com/tedx

You inspire, Tunde. What struck me most were two things... 1. An understanding of who you want to be gives you an identity and puts you on your true path of life. 2. Making an impact starts with identifying where your privileges intersect with another person's oppression.
Watched your interview with channels Tv . It was amazing. Building people, remolding their thoughts is a super talent. Giving all these back to the society is out of this world 🙌🙌🙌🙌
His fingers and hand gesticulations make sense now, after hearing he used to play the piano in church. "Who do you want to be when you grow up?" 😮 Ignore the 'what' and focus on the 'who'
Who is here after the guinness world record.

Tunde, you are a prototype following a lying art. The art of role modeling since Charles Barkley spoke publicly what some athletes thought of themselves privately was role modeling is dead. But Tunde you have revived this dying art. Thank you.
