ABOUT MBELE
Mbele Leadership Foundation is an authentic community of extraordinary trailblazers committed to developing, empowering, and connecting emerging world changers in a changing world. Mbele is translated in Swahili as “forward.” The translation inspires enthusiasm for forward-thinking and innovative approaches that will impact communities locally and globally. Mbele is a leadership movement ignited by the experiences and skill of leaders who are growing through defining moments of taking others where they’ve never been before.
