About Me

Benjamin Sanvee story exemplifies the true genius of the African spirit. With family ties and relations the spans across three African countries: Liberia, Togo, and Ghana, he personifies what the perfection of our union can achieve. An Africa where borderlines are invisible and people unite to showcase the beauty of Africa. Born in Monrovia, Liberia on August 18, 1981, Benjamin from the tender age of 16, have always been involved with youth activism in his native Liberia.

Education
Benjamin completed his primary and secondary education in Liberia where he graduated from the Cathedral High School. He went on to attend the University of North Carolina at Charlotte where he obtained a BA in political science.

Political Experience
Benjamin gained national prominence in his native Liberia when he delivered what was described as one of the most inspirational speeches at the National Conference on the Future of Liberia in 1998. At the conclusion of the conference, with a unanimous consensus from his peers, Benjamin was appointed by the President of Liberia to serve as the youth advisor to the government at the age of 17. He served in this capacity for one year prior to his departure to the United States to pursue his academic studies.

With this portfolio came its challenges and triumphs. Being, the lonely voice in the midst of a bureaucratic system long design to pursue dominance, Benjamin had his eyes set on the youth agenda. He was successful in finally bringing to the center stage of national politics the plights of Liberian youths. He worked with youth organizations nationally and coordinated with the appropriate agencies of the government to implement programs from scholarships to HIV/AIDS awareness. He has proudly represented Liberia at numerous conferences where he sought to bring the world’s attention to the plights of Liberians.

Mr. Sanvee currently serves on the Board of Directors of The Evolution Foundation, a nonprofit organization he co-founded in 2003, to focus on the educational and social challenges facing young people across the continent of Africa. He’s a devout Christian, and is engaged to Ms.Clare Wesley, with whom he’s the proud parent of a son, Benjamin III. They reside in Charlotte, North Carolina.
