Meet – Florence Jedidiah Mulenga, at age 21, she conceptualized an anti-asthma body spray that could potentially prevent asthmatic patients from having asthmatic attacks whilst using the body spray as a daily deodorant.

“I believe that people’s biggest dreams in life require them to step out of their comfort a little and create a positive impact in society. I encourage people to believe in themselves or no one will.”

“Once you believe in yourself, others join you in yourself-belief. You can change the world, it doesn’t matter where you are from,” said Florence Mulenga.
