On the continent of Africa, there is a mighty generation of innovators, radical thinkers, and leaders looking to build it into a power of its own, a growing notion of building Africa for Africans by Africans. In this podcast, we go deep into the stories of those entrepreneurs, authors, activists, philosophers, and more contributing to and building a NEW AFRICA.
