Julius Owino, better known by his stage name Juliani, has been chosen to participate in the Eisenhower Fellowships program, which will run from April 10 to May 18, 2023.
Juliani announced his selection on Thursday, June 16, 2022, saying he is honored to be among the African leaders who will come to the United States for the fully financed transformative fellowship.
“It gives me great pleasure to inform you that you have been selected as a fellow from Kenya in the strong competition for the Eisenhower Fellowships spring 2023 Global program scheduled to take place in the U.S from April 10 to May 18, 2023. This powerful in-person experience will be preceded by a series of virtual sessions beginning in February,” read part of the letter authored Eisenhower President George de Lama.
The Eisenhower Fellowships were established in 1953 to recognize President Dwight D. Eisenhower’s contributions to humanity as a global leader.
Juliani was chosen for the fellowship through his Dandora Hiphop City organization, and he will now be able to travel to the United States for four to six weeks of professional networking and information exchange.
“Over the moon! I am an Eisenhower Fellow. The Call from Erin Hillman, Vice President Eisenhower Fellowships, my day!
“Nashukuru sana sana the Kenyan panel selection Committee and everybody who made this possible. Looking forward to Learn, Grow and Contribute. Baraka Tele,” read a caption from Juliani.
