Former United States President, Barack Obama, will welcome global leaders, including Nigeria’s billionaire banker and chair of Heirs Holdings, Tony Elumelu, to Chicago today as his foundation, Obama Foundation holds its first ever global summit. Obama is known to advocate active citizenship and has been finding ways to implement his out-of-office blueprint for global progressive politics since he left office in January. “The summit will also include breakout sessions on topics ranging from communicating across differences to art and culture’s role in creating productive cities to understanding race in relation to one’s civic identity. Breakout sessions will provide attendees with the opportunity to dive deeper into topics, engage directly in conversation, and learn new skills, ” Obama Foundation said. Obama will be joined by his wife, Michelle, to hear and engage directly with leaders at the conference.
