Why you should listen to his talk?
As a young African boy taking a shot at the American dream, I lost track of the African dream.
For a very long time, the world’s portrayal of Africa caused my disconnection with the continent, but I later on realized that I had the capacity to be apart of the answer and help change the story of Africa.
This generation of young Africans to me represent the best. There are indefinite possibilities when we begin to see ourselves as the solution to Africa’s problems.
My vision is to build Africa-focused media powerhouse owned and operated by Africans that will control our stories and mitigate Africa’s representation by the rest.
Quote from Isaac: “Change does not come in a day, in a year, it may not even come in a decade. Change only comes with progress.”
