I have come to know Mr. Tshitenge as an exceptionally bright and motivated community builder and
youth mentor and leader. Mr. Tshitenge’s work in African Diaspora Engagement and Community Building is very impressive. He is a dynamic and talented community organizer, educator, and social entrepreneur whom I met in the course of African diaspora related activities in the Boston area.
Mr. Tshitenge has demonstrated his broad knowledge of and good familiarity with the needs, potentials, and challenges of African diaspora entrepreneurs, as well as his exceptional facilitation and leadership skills in engaging local underprivileged communities and marginalized youth for the development of the communities in the United States as well as in Africa.
Mr. Tshitenge has facilitated entrepreneurship and cultural vitality initiatives among low-income populations as a way to effect social change and create an environment for inclusivity and diversity.

In his meetings, Leonard highlights the serious nature of issues impacting the community by reciting his own poetry as well as by presenting video clips effectively chosen from the mainstream media. After the video presentations, members of a three person panel offer their professional expertise on the topic before fielding questions from those in attendance. Leonard does an excellent job engaging those present and facilitating the discussion

I was fortunate enough to know Leonard who helped me brainstorm the initiation of my podcast. Although I am still in the process of launching my podcast "This Tale I Own", his advice has been invaluable to me. This Tale I Own is a podcast project that will promote sharing stories from nontraditional storytellers, the youth, allowing them to bridge cultural, religious, ethnic and environmental gaps"

I have worked with Leonard since 2014 to lead local, national and international campaigns, organizations, and events in support of human rights. I have seen his contributions grow as a Poet, Community Organizer, social entrepreneur. He has held 10 diverse events with Congolese diaspora of New England in which he bridged Cultural and political gaps between members of various diaspora groups, a senior White House safer and other stage officials, academics, faith leaders and other caring members of wider Boston Communities. He utilizes his unparalleled ability to inspire and bring people of all ethnic, religious, and economic background together in the interest of human rights. He is a fantastic addition to any team looking to elevate these topics worldwide.
