Votre âge ne mesure pas votre impact | Yasmine Mustapha Jibril | TEDxKubwa

La jeune leader étudiante Yasmine Mustapha Jibril soutient que l'âge ne détermine pas la capacité à diriger, à influencer les autres ou à faire une différence dans la société. Forte de son expérience de Head Girl et de plus de 100 heures de service communautaire, elle explique que le leadership commence par la prise de responsabilités, la saisie des opportunités et l'action sur les sujets importants. Elle encourage les jeunes à agir sans attendre la permission et invite parents, éducateurs et responsables à faire place aux jeunes voix.

• Le leadership commence par la responsabilité et l'initiative, non par l'âge ou les titres
• Expérience de Head Girl et plus de 100 heures de service communautaire
• Appel aux jeunes à agir et invitation aux adultes à ouvrir des opportunités

In this audacious TEDx talk, Yasmine Mustapha Jibril, a student leader and passionate youth advocate, challenges the belief that age determines one's ability to lead, influence others or make a meaningful difference in society. Drawing from her experience as a Head Girl and her commitment to community development, including over 100 hours of community service, Yasmine explores how leadership begins not with age, titles or recognition, but with the courage to take responsibility, embrace opportunities and act on what matters. Through her journey of leadership, teamwork and service, she highlights the importance of self-belief, initiative and the willingness to contribute, even when society considers you too young to make a difference. Her message challenges young people to stop waiting for permission, experience or adulthood before pursuing their ideas and contributing to their communities. At the same time, she invites parents, educators and leaders to recognise the potential of young voices and create opportunities for them to participate, lead and grow. At its heart, this talk is a reminder that meaningful impact is not reserved for those with decades of experience. It belongs to anyone willing to recognise a need, take action and make a difference. Yasmine is a student leader, community advocate, and emerging youth voice passionate about leadership, personal development, and youth empowerment. She has served as a Head Girl, gaining valuable experience in leadership, teamwork, problem-solving, and community engagement. With over 100 hours of community service, she is committed to making a positive impact both within and beyond her school community. Yasmine is particularly passionate about inspiring young people to recognise their potential, embrace responsibility, and understand that age does not limit their ability to create meaningful change.
