James being interviewed outside the Philippines Senate after testifying regarding the implementation of Graphic Health Warnings on cigarette packs. James shocked the Senate and NGOs by coming out in full support of responsible behaviour of tobacco companies and hence supporting the implementation of GHW packaging.
James with top Nigerian Female Marathoners Uche Orizu (L) and Esther Obiekwe (middle). Uche had just completed and won the Women's Empowerment Race in Lagos, albeit she had a tough race. Little did we know Uche ran the race with Stage 4 Colon Cancer. She was diagnosed 3 weeks after this picture and passed away a mere 18 months later. The most courageous person James has ever met.
