Steven Lyazi

Kampala, Uganda native Steven Lyazi began working as a high school student with the late Cyril Boynes, Jr., director of the Uganda chapter of the Congress of Racial Equality (CORE), one of the world’s oldest civil and human rights organizations. After Mr. Boynes had a stroke in 2011, Steven became his personal assistant, until Mr. Boynes’ death in 2015. Upon graduating from high school, and with the death of his mentor, Steven began reading books and articles and studying on his own, with help from several Americans who have become his new mentors. He writes occasional articles on issues affecting Uganda and Africa. His goal is to attend university in South Africa and possibly pursue a graduate degree abroad, all with an emphasis on business, energy and the environment.
