Founder & Executive Director
Elsie Kromah
With a deep background in community organizing and human services, Elsie built the Ignite Z Foundation to be the platform she saw missing in traditional care networks. Her leadership is defined by radical empathy and an uncompromising drive to ensure marginalized voices—from youth to seniors—dictate the future of their own support systems.
"Real support doesn't happen in a vacuum. It happens in rooms built by people who understand your context and speak your language."
Adesiji Richard Agbayewa
Charity-Sector Leader
Empowering the next generation, one mindset at a time. Diving deep into stress management and boosting self-esteem to ignite positive change.
Wesley I. Harmon
Pastor & Servant Leader
As a devoted community leader, Wesley grounds the foundation's work in compassion and outreach. His deep ties to local congregations provide a vital bridge between our resources and isolated individuals.
Chimaroke E. Obinya
Healthcare Professional
Chimaroke ensures our programs are medically and psychologically sound. His expertise in healthcare and human services guarantees that our elder abuse and youth mental health workshops meet the highest professional standards.
