Namara Lwansa Talks About Issues Relating to International Education, Peace, and Leadership

At 13 years old, Namara Lwansa became the youngest member of the Frontrunners League community. In 2025, at 19 and enrolled in Northwestern University in the US, this young leader is still on the Frontrunner path. With the first opportunity in 6 years to sit down in person with her, Mary Kurek asks Namara about her experience the first time outside of her African continent. The two take a deep dive into her thoughts on global unity, media’s role, and embracing change. It’s a conversation that’s shared from the heart with the intention that it begins the new year for all of us with a fresh hope for youth who are interested and eager to work to make a difference.
