“I had the good fortune to spend hours with my parents around the dinne...” — Dambisa Moyo Quote

“I had the good fortune to spend hours with my parents around the dinner table having debates on politics and economics.”

“I don't think my background in Zambia has really affected my lens because my classical training has been Western-style. But it's fantastically fortuitous to have been born African because I don't feel I have a vested interest to the U.S. or China or wherever.”

“The people I admire unreservedly are my parents. They are the real pioneers of Africa in many ways. They were born and raised in rural Africa during the colonial period. They are the ones who came to the U.S. long before I did.”

“A lot of discussions and debates happen in our party. Isn't it good to have a democratically run party rather than a dynastic one? So obviously, discussions do happen, and they are for the good.”

“Politicians today are not highly regarded... there seem to be people young and old and in the middle saying that they have never heard such wretched debates.”

“World's children cannot wait any longer. While international community debates and issues recommendations, statements and fine speeches, world's children - marginalised, socially excluded, poor and vulnerable - continue to suffer.”
