The Most Influential People of African Descent (MIPAD) has unveiled its Class of 2024, spotlighting individuals who are making a profound impact globally. This prestigious recognition underscores the importance of celebrating the trailblazers of African descent who are leading across various sectors, showcasing leadership, innovation, and commitment to progress.
The MIPAD initiative stands as a global civil society effort aligning with the United Nations’ International Decade for People of African Descent, which spans from 2015 to 2024. It aims to identify and honour individuals from the African diaspora who excel in public and private sectors worldwide, fostering a network of influential figures who push for justice, recognition, and development.
In alignment with World Creativity and Innovation Day, MIPAD is proud to announce the Class of 2024 honorees in the Global Top 100 Futurist & Innovators List. This special recognition celebrates visionaries who are pioneering changes in technology, creativity, and societal development. The honorees are distinguished in three impactful categories: Afrofuturism & Creatives, Futurists, and Innovators & Changemakers, each dedicated to advancing unique and innovative solutions that shape our world.
Following the announcement of the Futurists and Innovators, MIPAD also highlights the Global Top 100 Under 40 List. This list features young leaders who excel in diverse fields such as politics, entrepreneurship, activism, and cultural endeavours. These individuals are recognized for their significant contributions to enhancing the visibility and advancement of people of African descent globally.
Recognizing these exceptional leaders not only honours their individual accomplishments but also promotes broader goals of diversity and representation in global leadership. Each honoree’s journey is a beacon of inspiration, illustrating the profound impact that individuals of African descent can have in driving positive change in their communities and industries.
