Zion Matthew, Founder and CEO is available to speak at conferences, seminars and entrepreneurship conferences.	Zion Matthew I was born and bred in South Africa, just like many of you are right now. I grew up in a transitioning South Africa and had to face the hardships and trials of a non-white South African upbringing. Life in the Indian Township of Phoenix, North of Durban, South Africa was not easy with my large family living close to the breadline. I quickly realised that it would only take the heart of a champion and mindset of ‘never giving up’ to succeed and choose greatness.	I embarked on becoming a mentor and mediator challenging the status quo by breaking personal, social and economic barriers. Even at that early stage of my life; I knew that I possessed an innate desire to succeed and break the bar to achieve greatness and success. During my early teens I envisioned the emergence of a fearless, determined and a revolutionary generation that would become champions of their day . In the legacy of great men like Nelson Mandela, I knew that the future of the New South Africa lay in the hands of passionate and dedicated young people and whilst Mandela’s vision brought a political revolution, the vision I had would be a revolution of ‘self’. This meant that each individual would reach for and attain the greatest realisation – I AM! Armed with this great vision, it is my intention to stir up the hearts and minds of young individuals across the South African landscape by challenging, motivating, mentoring and equipping them to become leaders and visionaries themselves. My greatest passion is to see the power of a changed mindset manifest into a changed life. 2010 marks the birth of the ‘I AM LEGACY’	Lucille Cornelius She has spent the greater part of her adult life working with young people.
