“Being home most of the time saves me from a lot of danger. The family life grounds me and it reminds me that I am living for something that is bigger than me and that it is what drives me,” he says. Jentile is a certified Obama Foundation leader and has been part of the Mandela Washington Fellowship Young African Leaders. He left his civil engineering career to pursue what he believes is his life calling – civic leadership and human rights activism.
“People on social media said we needed to march against this. I called a friend and asked him if he could do a poster, and before I knew it, that thing was all over the place. People started calling so the march had to happen,” he says.
