A new crop of African leadership is emerging, rooted in literacy, storytelling, social cohesion and people-centred change. We are proud to celebrate our Executive Director, @troklorato, on her nomination for the 2026 AMHROA Pan-African Mental Health Leadership & Excellence Award. This recognition shines a light on a new generation of African leaders who are shaping the continent’s future through bold, inclusive and transformative leadership. Lorato represents a leadership model grounded in impact, empathy and human development. Through her work in the literacy space, she has championed children’s reading, multilingual storytelling and community-led literacy initiatives that expand access to learning, imagination and opportunity for thousands of children and families. As an accomplished writer, she understands the power of stories to build empathy, strengthen identity and inspire social change. Her leadership also extends into national civic life through her role as a member of the Eminent Persons Group, tasked with guiding and promoting South Africa’s society-wide National Dialogue, helping shape conversations about the country’s future, unity and shared vision. Her nomination reflects a growing understanding that African leadership is not only defined by titles or institutions, but by leaders who are building more literate, connected, resilient and mentally healthier societies. The award will be presented during the two-day AMHROA 2026 Continental Summit.
