      Young Successful Leaders Of Tomorrow (Y-SLOT) was a non-profit organization targeted at youth self-development and training. Together with my Co-Founders and former University roommates (Wilfred, Samuel, & Caleb), we wanted a platform to motivate and inspire students and young people to discover their purpose and chase after their dreams.UPDATE: Y-SLOT folded after we left school. It is a project we still hold dear to our hearts and would love to rekindle some time in the future.
