A Multi-Faceted Powerhouse

Kadi Wilson, the winner of the Senior Leader of the Year award at the MBCC Awards, is a woman who embodies leadership, resilience, and a deep commitment to community development.

Kadi actively nurtures and uplifts people, ensuring that those with passion and drive find opportunities to succeed. Her 160-strong youth project is a testament to her commitment to supporting the next generation, not just in words but in action.

Financial Literacy And Generational Wealth

Financial literacy is another key focus for Kadi. She realised early in her business journey that financial education was essential for sustainability. Through self-education and surrounding herself with knowledgeable individuals, she developed a strong understanding of generational wealth, trusts, and financial planning.

Philanthropy And Social Impact

Her philanthropic efforts extend to raising funds and awareness for Sickle Cell charities, a cause close to her heart. Her cousin’s struggle with Sickle Cell motivated her to ensure those affected receive the necessary support and resources.

Looking Ahead To 2025

Kadi’s journey has been shaped by her experiences, including living in New York, where she honed her entrepreneurial mindset. Through self-care, travel, and goal setting, she maintains balance while juggling multiple responsibilities.

Looking ahead to 2025, Kadi is focused on completing her masters in counselling and psychotherapy while deepening her community engagement, particularly in tackling youth violence.
