I had the privilege to meet Paul Sika a few weeks ago at AfricaGathering in DC, and was instantly inspired by his charisma and vision. Paul is a photographer and emerging businessman from Cote d’Ivoire. He gave an amazing talk at the conference that not only reflected his lighthearted and energetic personality, but also a deep understanding and vision of the world around him (and all of us!). He’s been on a whirlwind tour here in the US — first joining us in DC for AfricaGathering, then doing an interview on CNN (see below!), and speaking with Google Executives in Mountain View, California!

Paul is soon going to be releasing a book of his photographs called “At the Heart of Me”, that I’ve had an opportunity to flip through and can highly recommend! Here’s a YouTube video promoting the new book:
