2019 Tutu Fellow Akintunde Oyebode has been tweeting about how he experienced the Tutu Leadership Fellowship this past year. In the past, Fellows have described it as being a deeply personal journey but haven't necessarily been public on social media. Akin is a Special Adviser for Ekiti State Government, in Nigeria, where he is responsible for leading the state government’s efforts to make Ekiti an attractive destination for investors and innovation driven enterprises.
The cover photo is a tweet of his in which he says: Asked to submit an iconic photo representing our respective countries for a @TutuFellows class. There are many reasons I chose Ken Geiger & William Snyder’s Pulitzer winning photo. What does it mean to you? The article below is a compilation of some of Akin's tweets about the Tutu Fellowship programme.
The thread starts at the Oxford Workshop. The picture tweets are captured here and the captions are the accompanying tweet, but there's more meat in the thread itself.
