Gregory Fortuin gave us a taste of what he has been presenting to RYLA since 2003. He relies on being judged by the attendees to determine 
if he is interesting enough to come back...after almost 20 years of returning I think you get the feeling that he does a great job.

From a taste of life growing up in an apartheid South Africa to a taste of ethnic discrimination at the Wellington, Gregory has seen and experienced many different facets of life. This includes having a son whose drug issues caused all sorts of family problems, their house was burnt to the ground, he wasn't always the most popular race relations conciliator - but through it all he knew that ultimately everything is about the people and how we individually can help one another. He has used this theme to drive his relationships with family, political issues, and almost every aspect of his life.
His view that youth have such a myopic and focused view of their 'here and now' and what their future should look like, enables the human race to refocus with every generation and look for better ways to live and treat each other.
The way that Gregory illustrates his views with many personal stories make for a fascinating talk and we could have lapped up his presentation for hours. If you ever have the chance to listen to Gregory speak you need to grab it - maybe attend his session at the upcoming RYLA in January - he is very much worthy of the high scores he receives each year.
