This is a fantastic speech, Cyril nailed it! As a 2X District Champion, I made it to the semifinals of the World Championship of Public Speaking a couple of times. Toastmasters is an incredible organization. What I love about Cyril's speech is that he came across as natural. He has a powerful speaking style that draws you into his story and speech. Accepting and being yourself is so crucial to success in life, so his message is spot on. Like Cyril, I'm based in Europe as well after moving here from my home country. I'm wishing Cyril the best in his speaking career!

Hazvibvumesu is my complicated Ndau middle name... other Shonas can't even pronounce it and I love it!!! It was my gift from my father and i would never get rid of it because, NDINI

[@daveedovsky]

Brilliant topic, powerful poses, perfect timing, breathtaking history, engaging audience And jokes: "My name will be useful... as a password" "Mufasa in a slow-motion" "Let's see your name 3 times and we'll see what happens" Epic ones! 🤣 Well done, Cyril!
