‘Drunk’ author Jackson Biko now faculty member at the Harvard Kennedy School

Famed blogger and author Jackson Biko has made it big. But to be fair, Biko has been ‘big’ for a while.

Jackson Biko is now a course facilitator at the Harvard Kennedy School. According to a recent post on his account on the photo-sharing platform Instagram, Biko is among very few individuals in the world who can say they have facilitated a class at the prestigious ivy-league institution Harvard University. Elated by his recent achievement, Biko shared that he is a facilitator at the Havard Kennedy School as part of the Executive Education program. This comes 9 years after he penned his first blog on the infamous ‘Biko Zulu’ blog.

Biko is expected to teach a class of around 70 students. The opportunity to teach at Harvard is a huge honor for the popular blogger turned author. In the program, Zulu is set to be sharing his expertise in writing and storytelling with the attendees of his class. Among the top topics covered in the Executive Education program include technology, leadership, innovation as well as economic development.

According to the Harvard Kennedy School website, “Executive Education at Harvard Kennedy School is an invaluable educational opportunity for senior leaders from every sector of society who seek to optimize their effectiveness, accelerate their impact, and connect with other visionary leaders to build an international network of peers.”

Congratulations to Biko, as he adds another feather to his already highly-decorated cap.
