Speaking to the thronging youngsters on Tuesday, Kamala Haris voiced optimism about the possibilities of positive change awaiting the world if hardworking African youth take the wheel.

the entrepreneur who will identify the next digital breakthrough, the activist to fight for the dignity of every human being,
student and scientist, athletes and artists, farmers and fishers and the young innovators who will solve problems that we haven’t yet identified with solutions.
We can’t even yet imagine,” she added.
