ABOUT THE AUTHOR Lucien York, a 25-year-old from the beautiful Caribbean island of Saint Kitts and Nevis, is a dedicated servant leader and aspiring humanitarian. Despite overcoming dyslexia, he has embarked on a journey of service and leadership that spans different nations. Starting within the religious community, Lucien served as a worship and youth support leader, successfully advocating for his church's vision, resulting in the acquisition of property for a sanctuary without cost. However, his calling extended beyond the local church. To fulfil this, he pursued education and holds a psychology diploma from the Centre of Excellence in the UK. He also obtained a certificate in youth leadership from the Young Leaders of the American Initiative network and is currently pursuing a bachelor's degree in child and youth development work at the University of the West Indies. Lucien's passion for service, especially in the areas of youth affairs, mental health, well-being, and human rights, led him to contribute as a youth and support leader in various nonprofit organisations. He co-authored a book titled "Not Alone," alongside Dr. Psalm Ebube and ten others, aimed at helping youth and young adults deal with depression, insecurities, and mental health challenges. His dedication has earned him several awards, including recognition from the Saint Kitts and Nevis Junior Achievement Company Programme, Charlestown Secondary School's Business Department Extra Mile Award, and the Saint Christopher and Nevis Federal House of Parliament's 25 Most Remarkable Teen Award. In 2022, he received the Honourable Mention Award from Change the World Model United Nations, the IChange Nations Civility Icon Award, and the Amazing People School Today's Amazing Person Award. He was also featured in the World Literacy Foundation newsletter, highlighting his commitment to global literacy improvement.
