Building the Future
The Lewis Latimer Fellowship, created by the Edison Awards, honors the legacy of inventor and engineer Lewis H. Latimer, whose innovations helped illuminate the modern world. The program recognizes and supports emerging innovators who use technology, research, and creativity to address complex global challenges through systems thinking and social impact.
As a 2025 Lewis Latimer Fellow, Alexandria J. Maloney focuses on the "future of diplomacy", exploring how innovation and governance can work together to strengthen peace, cooperation, and human progress.
As part of the Lewis Latimer Fellowship, Alexandria participates in a rigorous and interdisciplinary program combining research, innovation, and real-world application. Fellows engage in bi-weekly, expert-led seminars focused on public policy, technology, and business strategy, emphasizing how innovation can advance social good. Alexandria collaborates with the RAND Corporation on data-driven research to shape scalable, high-impact initiatives and participates in venture development and pitch preparation for mission-driven investors and venture capitalists. Her original work will be presented at major global convenings, including the 2025 Edison Awards and the MIT AI Futures Summit, highlighting her contributions to designing future-ready institutions that bridge diplomacy, technology, and governance.

Spotlight: Maloney Remarks on Africa and the Future of Humanity at the Latimer Futures Summit at MIT
In this dynamic conversation, Alexandria J. Maloney, a 2025 Lewis Latimer Fellow, joins Darrell M. Blocker, former CIA officer and global security expert, in a powerful dialogue moderated by John Burns. Together, they explore The Continent—Africa—as a central force shaping the future worlds: from governance and innovation to global diplomacy, technology, and cultural power.
This discussion is part of the Latimer Futures Summit, an initiative of the Lewis Latimer Fellowship Program, which brings together thought leaders reimagining diplomacy, leadership, and human progress across emerging frontiers. Through this lens, Alexandria and her peers illuminate how the next century will be defined not only by policy but by imagination, systems thinking, and the moral architecture of leadership.
Fellow Profile
This profile represents more than a fellowship — it’s a blueprint for what it means to lead in a complex and rapidly evolving world. Alexandria J. Maloney, known as “The Dreamitect,” embodies the fusion of imagination and strategy — a leader who architects solutions where diplomacy, innovation, and humanity intersect. Her “superpower,” Conflict Alchemy, reflects her belief that tension and disagreement are not obstacles but opportunities for transformation.
Whether designing leadership programs, convening world leaders, or shaping global governance frameworks, her work demonstrates that leadership in the 21st century isn’t just about solving problems — it’s about redesigning the systems that create them. But this isn’t just her story — it’s an invitation for all of us to discover our own. Each person holds a unique superpower: empathy, creativity, resilience, or vision. The key is learning how to use it in service of something greater than ourselves. To be a “Dreamitect” is to see possibility where others see limitation — to imagine better systems, relationships, and futures. When we each choose to build, not just critique; to align, not divide; and to design, not destroy — we become the architects of the peaceful, safe, and harmonious world we’ve always needed.
