It takes consistency, dedication, patience and the right mentorship to make the Chevening journey. I canโ€™t keep calm, Iโ€™ve been chosen for Chevening 2023 to read Climate Change Science and Policy - University of Bristol. @UKinCameroon, @DjobMireille, @Camchev237, @OpenDreamsOrg

Honoured to receive a special recognition from @CheveningFCDO as part of my role as a Chevening Social Media Ambassador. At the Farewell2023 Chevening appreciates its 12 Social Media Ambassadors who had work to document their journeys through out the year. Now we didnโ€™t see that coming and what a special moment it was. Chevening Social Media Ambassadors (SMAs) showcase what itโ€™s like to be a Chevening Scholar by documenting their experiences of life in the UK. SMAs show the Chevening community what itโ€™s really like to study, travel, and live in the UK. It has been a prestigious honour for me to serve in this role. And what a journey it has been. #IamChevening #MyCheveningJourney #CheveningSMA #UKStudy #Farewell2023 #ChooseChevening @UKinCameroon @DjobMireille @GeraldAfadani @ChrisDennysUK

What an amazing #Chevening year and journey it has been!! Officially a #Chevening Alumni. This past week the UK Government @FCDOGovUK hosted a joint scholarships event to celebrate the achievements and memories made in the passing academic year for @CheveningFCDO, #Commonwealth, and #Marshall Scholarships (2022/2023 cohort). Another opportunity to network, get to know one another, listen to talks from some incredible speakers, and all together as a cohort. As part of the Scholar Achievements segment, a recognition of scholar achievements, I was very happy and honored for an opportunity to share a highlight of my #Chevening journey as spotlight by #Chevening. To share my journey with an audience of over 1,600 scholars and leaders in one place is a wonderful opportunity I will forever cherish. This event hosted wonderful speakers such as the Secretary of State, the RT Hon @JamesCleverly, Anulika Ajufo, Marshall Commissioner, and His Royal Highness The Prince of Wales @KensingtonRoyal. We have become part of the prestigious Chevening Alumni network @CheveningAA, a global network of over 55,000 leaders. As part of my role as a Chevening Social Media Ambassador #CheveningSMA, it was an honour to also receive a special recognition from Chevening during this event. I remain very grateful. Thank you for everything, @CheveningFCDO, and for a life-changing opportunity and lasting impact on me. #IamChevening #MyCheveningJourney #CheveningSMA #UKStudy #Farewell2023 @ChrisDennysUK @GeraldAfadani, @BarryLowen, @UKinCameroon, @achaleke1

Another interactive reading session with pre-scholars at the Open Dreams Center. Amazing how these scholars read and discussed thematic concerns in my debut poetry collection, Litany of a Foreign Wife. It was simply impressive. Thanks to @OpenDreamsOrg for the opportunity.

Aware of the dangers posed by #Hepatitis, Community Vision Group engaged children of Cameroon to speak out against viral hepatitis. Kids truly are the future. One day soon, may their world be #hepatitisB free! โค๏ธ #throwbackthursday #WorldhepatitisDay ow.ly/yWTr50FMYBA
