2022 Toastmasters World Champion of Public Speaking: Cyril Junior Dim 

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!

"Ndini" is a powerful speech that took my breath away. Heartiest congratulations to Cyril Junior Dim and Toastmasters International! Splendid is the word!

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!

As your compatriot you made me really feel that, "ndisu". This is us!... So proud of you homie.... That was deep on multiple levels...

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

It left me speechless! Congrats Cyril!!! I am sure millions will watch it and benefit from what you achieved today!

So great to see this on the live stage finally! ZOOM wouldn't have done this justice! Well done Cyril!

This got me. Congratulations and thank you Cyril Junior Uchechukwumeri Dim. I say Ndini. This is me.

Maybe the best speech I ever seen ever in Toastmasters. Well Done Uchechukumere!

Goosebumps. Powerful and inspiring Ndini ✨️ loved it

Cyril's "Ndini" speech was captivating & empowering to all who are shy to talk of their roots.The speaker was in full flow & control of the content & meaning of his talk and used his body language to greatly impact his awesome win. Personally, I would have liked to know how the " Me" can blend & be one with the "We'. Great 👍 performance. Keep it up.👏🥇🏆👌

He was different.. because he accepted himself. Power fact, there!
