SKN’s Prime Minister, the Hon. Dr. Terrance Drew, has been chosen as an honoree for 2025 Most Influential People of African Descent (MIPAD) Lifetime Achievement Award. It comes as the Cohort for 2025 was recently unveiled.

Prime Minister Drew has been honored alongside luminaries such as media mogul Oprah Winfrey, tennis legend Serena Williams, and acclaimed actor and humanitarian Aaron Pierre. According to m.mipad.org, “this network promotes recognition, justice, and development for Africa and its Diaspora.”

This recognition underscores not only Prime Minister Drew’s vision and leadership, but also the expanding influence of St. Kitts and Nevis within the global African diaspora.

Since taking office in 2022, PM Drew has been a proponent of strategic partnerships spanning health, renewable energy, education, and trade, all rooted in his administration’s bold Sustainable Island State Agenda.

The formal presentation of awards is scheduled to take place in September 2025 at MIPAD’s Recognition Weekend in New York City.
