The podcast challenges stereotypes about Africa, highlighting how these innovators see opportunity where others see challenges like poverty and infrastructure deficits. After leaving Africa they’ve found opportunities in the West and rather than returning home or relying solely on remittances, they’re investing back in their home countries with businesses, creating jobs and driving economic growth.
