Jambo. 2 Years ago, John Bowles and I took our first trip up to beautiful Kenya, and what a shame it was that it had taken us so long. Sure, South Africa had provided a level of stability for our foundling business, but our duty to drive economic opportunity for the continent should have been realised way earlier in the founding of Turn Left Media.
Since then, we have spent some fantastic times on the ground in numerous countries. With our voices on the ground, Nelly Ndonye, Norah Gitobu, and Rita Gakii, we’ve attended Social Media Week in Kenya, and visited and set up business in Nigeria with Tunde Ajetomobi, and footprints in Ghana and Ethiopia. We’ve spoken on numerous stages, to enterprises, and entrepreneurs, and appreciate the role there still is to play to uplift and empower every professional on the platform.
This year we look further to this beautiful continent and ask ourselves how we can serve our continent further, by connecting all Africans to economic opportunity, in whatever form that might mean.
