ATGI Conversations is our discussion-driven learning series where young people engage with experts across leadership, career growth, literacy, gender equity, and digital positioning to gain practical strategies for real-world success.
ATGI hosted an interactive session on personal image marketing with Beverly Ezebuike, a global speaker in fintech and blockchain and a trailblazer in driving growth for major brands. Beverly shared strategies on how individuals can position themselves online for maximum visibility and attract the right opportunities whether pivoting careers, building a personal brand, or expanding professional influence.
Drawing on her experience spearheading initiatives that generated over $50 million in profits for fintech companies, contributing to KUDA Bank's 7 million customer milestone, and supporting Rainest's Series A funding of $11 million, Beverly provided practical insights for leveraging online presence effectively. The session offered participants actionable tools to showcase their strengths, strategically navigate career transitions, and confidently put themselves in front of the audiences that matter.
ATGI celebrated World Book Day with fellow book lovers and Ezioma Kalu, popularly known as Bookish Ezioma. She first gained recognition in December 2022 for reading 100 books and, in 2024, impressively completed 150 more. Since then, she has been featured on platforms including Spotify for Creators, Tribune Online, Afritondo, Littafi, News Central TV, Isele Magazine, and Libretto Publishers.
In this special conversation, Reading Rituals That Work, Ms. Kalu shared her passion for reading and the practical habits that fuel her literary journey. Against the backdrop of declining literacy, driven by rising book costs and busy schedules, the session offered actionable strategies for cultivating a reading culture. Participants engaged directly with Ms. Kalu, learning about her book selection, purchasing habits, and motivation, sparking a lively dialogue on how to reconnect with premium content and make reading a lifelong habit.
This initiative reflects ATGI's commitment to promoting literacy and lifelong learning across the African continent, inspiring a new generation of readers to embrace the transformative power of books.
As part of the IWD celebrations, ATGI executed a discourse session featuring guest speakers such as Adebisi Olaniyi, Oyeronke Oyebanji, Sunzahra Liburd Banks, and Divine Chukwuemeka (The Japa Queen).
Unshackled convened a diverse group of women from healthcare, leadership, immigration, sports, and beyond to explore the systemic barriers that limit women's success. Through a cross-generational panel featuring Gen Z, millennial, and seasoned professionals, the discussion highlighted challenges such as glass ceilings, workplace inequality, and access to opportunities, while centering actionable solutions for breaking these barriers. Audience members engaged directly with experts through live Q and A sessions, fostering a dynamic dialogue aimed at democratizing opportunities for women across all sectors. Unshackled created a space where experience met innovation, sparking conversation, reflection, and tangible strategies for empowering women in every field.
As part of the ATGI Conversations series, we hosted a focused training session on personal branding and strategic LinkedIn positioning, facilitated by a seasoned LinkedIn strategist. This session was designed in response to a clear gap observed within our online community: many participants lacked awareness of how to intentionally position themselves for visibility and opportunity in professional digital spaces.
The session covered the fundamentals of personal branding on LinkedIn, including crafting a clear value statement, optimizing profile headshots and banner images, positioning for desired career and business opportunities, and using LinkedIn as a deliberate tool for networking and professional growth.
Beyond the group session, selected participants received free 1:1 LinkedIn consultation sessions with the facilitator. These personalized sessions enabled participants to refine their profiles, clarify their positioning, and strengthen their overall LinkedIn presence. This initiative reinforced ATGI Conversations as a platform for timely, practical discussions that equip young people with the tools to navigate modern professional ecosystems with confidence and intentionality.
SkillVault projects are structured, application-focused bootcamps that build core soft skills for personal effectiveness, professional readiness, and long-term leadership development.
SkillVault 1.0 was an intensive soft-skills bootcamp designed to equip young people with the competencies often missing from formal education but critical for professional and personal success. The program focused on building self-awareness, communication clarity, and decision-making capacity in real-world contexts.
The curriculum covered Emotional Intelligence, Public Speaking, Communication Etiquette, Corporate and Email Communication, Leadership and Organisational Skills, as well as Critical Thinking and Problem-Solving. Sessions were practical, reflective, and skills-driven, with an emphasis on application rather than theory.
The bootcamp received 66 applications, from which 30 participants were carefully selected through a screening process. 13 participants successfully completed the full program and graduated, receiving certificates in recognition of their commitment, growth, and demonstrated competence. SkillVault served as both a learning intervention and a proof of concept: when young people are given structure, relevance, and accountability, meaningful transformation follows.
The School Tours are a series of research-backed interventions designed to teach young people the language of emotional fluency as they navigate pivotal stages of growth.
In collaboration with Identity Unboxed author, Oyindamola Idowu, ATGI engaged secondary school students in guided dialogue, focus-group discussions, and practical communication workshops. Conversations explored personality shifts, peer pressure, bullying, relationships, and understanding identity through both personal reflection and biblical grounding.
The intervention culminated in a hands-on public speaking workshop where students delivered short talks and received structured feedback on clarity, presence, and audience engagement, teaching communication through practice, not theory.
As part of our commitment to advancing SDG 10, we promoted a culture of reading by providing each of the 55 participants with a signed copy of Identity Unboxed, extending learning beyond the session and equipping them with practical tools for personal and relational decision-making. We also coached five student speakers through live expression drills and facilitated five focus groups of 11 participants each, creating space for deeper peer-level reflection and meaningful dialogue.
