Nope. That's not me. It's my mum. The phenomenal thing about being a thought leader is that you are remembered for starting something which has never been done before; something which makes people stop, reflect and take action. Something which is life-changing and long after you are gone, it still feels like you never left. Prof. Catherine Acholonu, my mother, the prolific author and activist was a thought leader. Fearless and daring, she challenged status quo and pushed beyond gender, cultural and religious barriers, in order to introduce something new.  In her words: "I always have a way of saying things long before time. Because thinkers are those people who are able to pierce into the future and catch glimpses of light and bring it down" She was a thought leader in areas which reflected Gender Dynamics, Culture and Tradition, Quantum Leap in Consciousness, the Esoteric, Environmental Degradation, Achaeology, African History and Pre-history
