# OpenFellowships Opportunity Chat with Samuel Abinsinguza

> A focused 20-minute conversation about where you want to go next. Tell me what work you hope to do, which opportunity caught your eye, and what is making the next step difficult. I’ll listen, point you toward relevant OpenFellowships listings or resources where I can, and follow up with one practical next step. This is an informal conversation, not an admissions assessment or a promise of placement.
