Estimated reading time:1 min

Michael was born and raised in the Cape flats of Cape Town, a township gripped with crime and gang violence. He has first-hand experience recognizing how income inequality impacts society. He is anchored by his faith and driven by his passion to make entrepreneurship accessible to everyone, regardless of economic status or location. Opportunities he has created include school clubs, a YouTube Channel, a podcast and numerous virtual and in-person workshops. When Michael is not focused on bringing entrepreneurial activities to his communities, he spends time socializing and connecting with individuals from a number of different communities at his school.
