MEET THE TEAM
Joice Thomas
President & Chief Executive Officer
At the African Athletic and Academic Bridge Foundation (AAABF), sports are just the beginning. We’re not here to build athletes; we’re here to unlock the full potential of African youth who’ve been denied the room to become.
We challenge the belief that success must look one waY because survival taught us to chase status over self. AAABF creates space for creativity, freedom, and purpose, reminding youth they are allowed to lead with passion, not pressure.
Our mission isn’t to export talent for the world’s applause. it’s to bring resources in, so African youth can rise as the architects of Africa’s future. We invest in their brilliance not to change who they are, but to affirm they were always enough.
This is about becoming everything destined already.
