Koroma shares insights on how the youth have boosted the nation’s progress. “If I’m being brutally honest, I would say our contributions, when examined from an outside perspective, might seem slow or minimal. We are still in the foundational stage of development, and there’s not yet much tangible progress to showcase. However, from within, a lot is happening. There’s immense energy, creativity, and drive among Sierra Leonean youth, and while it may not yet be evident externally, the groundwork being laid is significant. What makes me truly optimistic is that we, the youth, are not backing down. Despite challenges, we are tirelessly working toward greatness, striving to create opportunities, and positioning ourselves as mentors and motivators for the next generation. This effort is about more than personal success; it’s about ensuring the next wave of youth has something solid to build upon.”

The youth in Sierra Leone are driven by a hunger for recovery. They are leading a significant transformation, leveraging their entrepreneurial drive to innovate, uplift industries, and revitalize the nation’s economy. They embody the potential of a generation determined to build a brighter future. Through their tenacity and vision, young creatives like Koroma and Bangura are not only inspiring their peers but also position Sierra Leone as a rising force in Africa’s dynamic creative entrepreneurial landscape.
