From Monrovia, Liberia, to the rest of the world, I’m Kobe D. Wleh. I am a creative, highly disciplined, and curious young leader who refuses to be confined to a single box. My journey is a unique intersection of the creative visual arts, cutting-edge technology, financial market analysis, and the written word.

Currently, I channel my creative energy into my role as a Video Director & Editor at Space Digital. For me, filmmaking is an immersive, hands-on craft. I shape the initial creative concepts for brands, physically set up the cameras on set, manipulate cinematic lighting to craft the perfect mood, and direct the flow of the entire production. Once the cameras stop rolling, I bring that raw footage into the editing suite, piecing together the frames, pacing, and sound to build a high-impact final cut. I look at video production through the lens of an architect: every single frame is a building block designed to tell a larger, unforgettable story.

This relentless drive to master complex systems stems from my childhood. Ever since I was a little boy growing up in Monrovia, I have been driven by an unstoppable curiosity. I was the child who would open up electronics just to see the hidden gears and wires working inside. I always wanted to solve problems and explore the world far beyond what was visible on the surface.

Today, that childhood curiosity has evolved into the technical and literary pillars of my life. In technology, it led me to study Cybersecurity, learn FX Trading, and earn a Coding Bootcamp certificate from BlueCrest University. My analytical mindset even pushed me to qualify for the 2026 International Computer Science Competition (ICSC) and represent my peers as an Online Delegate at the 13th International Youth Conference in May 2026.

But my curiosity is also deeply human. As a writer, I use poetry to give a voice to the voiceless. In June 2025, I was named a Premiere Contest Winner on PoetrySoup. Later that year, my poem 'Voices of Our Tomorrow' was chosen for the prestigious 2025 African Human Rights Poetry Competition by the International Human Rights Art Movement (IHRAM). Out of more than 350 entries spanning 25 African nations, I was honored to stand as the sole longlisted representative for Liberia.

Whether I am competing in computer science, performing at the American International School of Monrovia talent show, or pushing my physical limits on the track—where I won 2nd Place in the National 4x400 Relay Race and earned multiple championships and a Best Rebounder award at the YMCA Vacation Program—I give everything 100%. I balance this diverse drive while finishing Grade 12 at Spiritan Academy, having completed my classes in June 2026 and eagerly anticipating my official graduation ceremony this September 2026.

At my core, I am motivated by a burning desire to make a tangible change. I am building a platform of success so that I can reach back and lift up others, especially the less fortunate. Every late night editing, every camera setup, and every line of code I write is dedicated to building an abundant future for my future family, while carrying forward the legacy and honoring the memories of my deceased loved ones who are no longer here to see me rise.

When everything is said and done, I want people to remember me as someone genuinely creative, immensely talented, deeply aspirational, and fiercely driven to grow every single day.
