Affecting Lives with Purpose: Afam Onyema on Creating Impact in the Nonprofit Space

In this episode of the AT Last Podcast, we sit down with Afam Onyema, CEO of the GEANCO Foundation, whose work bridges global philanthropy and community leadership. Afam shares his journey of carrying forward his family’s legacy, building healthcare and education access in Nigeria, and reflecting on how his identity and upbringing inform his leadership today.

The conversation explores the complexities of equity across borders, what it means to create sustainable change, and the challenges of mobilizing resources for underserved communities both abroad and at home. Afam’s perspective offers a rare look at how nonprofit leadership, cultural identity, and social justice intersect in ways that ripple far beyond sports medicine.

For anyone interested in global health, leadership, or building organizations that truly serve people, this episode is both inspiring and deeply instructive.
