Abstract
This article, published on December 3, 2018, summarizes the 2018 Baobab Summit, specifically focusing on transformative leadership. Inspired by this event, Farida Bedwei (software engineer/disability advocate) and Eyram Tawia collaborated to create Karmzah. Karmzah is Africa’s first superheroine with a disability—cerebral palsy—whose crutches are her superpower. This initiative aims to shatter societal expectations and empower youth by promoting inclusive communities.
