Leadership Commitments

As a visual storyteller and concept artist, I’ll commit to live a life of catholic leadership by using my talents and skills the best way I can—striving for greatness and striving to bring Truth and Beauty to the projects I contribute to in the film and gaming industries. Using my Feminine Genius, I hope to be able to always cherish life in my household, to lead by example, to nurture and care for others, and share my Faith through my art.

For my TLI 2022 West Leadership commitment, I want to start a group of women, which can come together to pray, discuss our faith, and help each other heal past wounds. I have found a need among catholic women to feel accompanied in their journey through support and prayer. Moreover, I would like to volunteer for an organization called Riverside Life Services. They provide pregnancy resources for women.

I have been very fortunate to have received many years of Catholic education. It has changed my life and greatly strengthened my faith. For my leadership commitment I plan to help with religious education at a local parish in any way I can. The world today does not encourage Catholics or most Catholic teachings. As part of my commitment to Catholic education, I also want to live my life as a role model for young Catholics. I plan to be a better role model by being bold in my faith on social media and in my daily life.

As a result of TLI experience, I commit to establish a discipleship and business skills development program that will annually form and train 100–Catholic young people in Institutions of higher learning in East Africa, with livelihood and evangelization skills needed for renewal and transformation of the church and the society at large.

Society today is deeply influenced by the media it consumes. Pope John Paul II stated that: “the cinema, with its vast possibilities, could become a powerful means of evangelization.” My mission as a TLI graduate will be to create a business that facilitates the creation of quality motion pictures that portray the truth about the dignity of the human person by bringing Catholic and Christian creators together to share ideas and collaborate on projects. The goal is to aid the creation of motion pictures with Christian values and equip them with the necessary resources for them to compete with mainstream media.

As an Indian Catholic, coming into this program has opened my eyes as to how it can be applied in my country where Christians are a minority. I commit to use my skills as an IT professional to represent Christ in my dealings with people, holding up moral values on the technologies I work on. My immediate approach would be to work with my home parish to create and contribute funds to bear the expenses for the underprivileged Catholic children to receive their First Holy Communion. My long-term goal is to organize a non-profit group for the youth to grow in [...]

I am launching Dream Big Mastermind, a coaching program that helps young adults and teens to establish goals and develop the skills, habits, and the drive to attain those goals. A survey of colleges showed 10% of the incoming freshmen are prepared to do the work. Upon graduation only 20% of the students are prepared to enter the workforce. How prepared are those who did not to go to college? Dream Big Mastermind’s mission is to help this demographic to live a life on purpose becoming the person they aspired to be. I will apply my new TLI leaderships skills to [...]

Last year I founded TAM NOVA, a professional coaching program for Catholic leaders. I joined TLI because I was curious to see what other Catholic leadership programs were doing. My leadership commitment is to continue building the Kingdom of God through TAM NOVA. We offer transformative coaching, collaboration, and, ultimately, unique creation of unprecedented results. We believe that all humans are renewed, developed, and sanctified through bold, creative, and risky work. Our program is designed for participants to explore where they're underestimating themselves and to learn what they're capable of as co-creators with God.

Since its inception the Catholic Church has held values that called for the sanctity of life and dignity of all human beings. These values are critical to the Catholic way of life and society as a whole. However, we have seen these values compromised in the policy making process. That is why I commit to creating a Catholic youth policy seminar for high school students from underserved communities that will teach how to be a Catholic advocate for their community. Now more than ever it is important that the Catholic voice be uplifted, inserted in policy making at every level of [...]

As a digital artist, I desire to use the gifts and talents the Lord has blessed me with to advance the kingdom of God here on earth. With the grace of God, my leadership commitment for the near future is to author and illustrate a series of children’s books that inspire a love for Jesus Christ. My long-term commitment is to allow the Holy Spirit to work through me and guide any media projects I may undertake in the future.
