As highlighted in Alex Ihama's book, "The Mystique of Leadership":

"Leadership is not just about intelligence, eloquence, resilience, or brilliance in your sphere of influence, but moreso about having the strategic foresight to impact not only the present but also the next two, three, and even fourth generations. That's the mark of a true visionary, and that's the legacy we aim to cultivate."

Despite heightened awareness regarding social justice, instances of racism, discrimination, hate crimes, and mental health issues persist at unprecedented levels.

Moreover, the mistreatment of minoritized and racialized groups, women, people with disabilities, and new immigrants through programs such as agri-food and live-in care programs raises concerns about their well-being.

Alarming statistics, such as the elevated unemployment rate, an increase in violent crime, and a distressing number of daily suicide attempts, as reported by Statistics Canada, emphasize the urgency of addressing pressing issues.
