The African Food Fellowship is deeply saddened by the passing of our colleague, Mr. Michael Oyier. Michael was an integral part of the Fellowship and played a significant role in the Food Systems Leadership Programme (FSLP). He joined the Fellowship in 2021 as a leadership coach and worked with Fellows to help sharpen their food systems leadership. He became an invaluable sounding board as Fellows worked on their food systems actions and tackled career challenges, big and small. Michael’s dedication, expertise, and positive spirit made a lasting impact on the Fellowship and the individuals he worked with. His contributions to the FSLP and his commitment to our mission will be remembered fondly by all who had the privilege of knowing him. He exemplified good leadership, defining it as “the ability to inspire and influence transformation in people, communities and society.” His talents also shone whenever he addressed a gathering, commanding attention with his authoritative voice infused with warmth and humour. During this difficult time, our thoughts and condolences are with Michael’s family, friends, and all those affected by this loss. We share in the sorrow of his passing and honour the positive influence he had on our team and the communities we serve. https://lnkd.in/d7vpG69A Wasafiri Claudia Piacenza Alex Rees Brenda Mareri Anysie Ishimwe Joost Guijt
