🏆✨ HONOURED TO KEYNOTE @thebaawards THE BLACK ACHIEVERS AWARDS 2026!

This Saturday with Merleta Bryan-Hilton MBE on 24th October, I have the privilege of taking the stage in Nottingham as a Keynote Speaker at the Black Achievers Awards 2026

An incredible evening celebrating excellence, leadership, resilience and those who are breaking barriers and inspiring future generations.

🌍 Through @vayyufoundation @uoceanproject , @uearthproject @uhumansproject and Heights of Possibility, my mission has always been about connecting people, planet and purpose, while creating opportunities for those who may never have imagined what was possible.

From the United Nations to Davos and the House of Lords, I’ve been fortunate to share our mission on global stages. But celebrating the achievements of extraordinary people within our communities here in the UK is equally meaningful.

Representation matters. Opportunity changes lives. And success means more when we lift others alongside us. ❤️

Looking forward to celebrating the remarkable finalists, winners and changemakers shaping our future.

📍 Nottingham, UK

✈️ When someone starts speaking fluent AVIATION… and you’re still on Duolingo Level 1. 😂

“So, if you’re compensating for adverse yaw with coordinated rudder input whilst maintaining optimum L/D, you’ll need to account for the induced drag coefficient, particularly as you approach the critical angle of attack…”

Me: “Yeah… absolutely… completely agree.” 😎👍

Nodding confidently like I’ve got 20,000 flying hours and used to test fly Concorde.

Meanwhile, my brain has lost all communication with Air Traffic Control, the instruments have look upside down and I’m considering an emergency landing. 🚨😂

Eventually, I’ve reached that age where I can confidently say:

“Mate, I haven’t understood a single word you’ve said since you opened your mouth.” 🤣

But here’s the thing…

That’s exactly what Heights of Possibility is all about. ✈️

You don’t have to understand every technical term, know what every instrument does, or speak fluent pilot to belong in aviation or conservation across the Sahara.

Sometimes the first step towards something extraordinary is simply having the courage to say “I haven’t got a clue… but I’d love to learn.”

Because at Heights of Possibility, we believe conservation and aviation shouldn’t just be for those who already know the language. It should be for anyone with the curiosity to discover it, the courage to try, and the ambition to see how far they can go.

You don’t need to know what L/D means to discover that the sky isn’t your limit and that you can work to protect the planet and people from the sky. 💙

Although knowing which way the aircraft is pointing is probably a good start. 😂✈️

Heights of Possibility - opening up aviation, one confused nod at a time.
