CANEX: AFRICAN CREATIVES ARE GIVEN A PLATFORM TO SPEAK
AFRICA IS TALKING! TAP IN AND JOIN THE CONVERSATION…
As a Creative Entrepreneur in the areas of Fashion and Information Technology, I was honored to receive an invitation to not only attend the 2nd Annual Intra-African Trade Fair, but to participate as a panel moderator.
I had the pleasure of speaking with fashion founders who joined me in discussion on the topic: Beautiful Africa- A Global Fashion Trend
Fashion Founders on the panel include:
After spending time on The Continent in 2017 and 2018, I was inspired to commit to always prioritizing building bridges with other Creatives, especially those based in an African country. I know I can learn from them just as much as they can learn from me. Ultimately, dialogue and action on amazing ideas are what pushes us forward and ultimately helps to uplift and shine a light on today’s Africa. Although my trip was quick (COVID-19 restrictions considered), it was an amazing opportunity that I am forever grateful for.
I look forward to moderating more conversations like this that can help African leaders gain deeper insight into the following:
The importance of investing in Creatives based in Africa
The importance of investing in Creatives committed to conducting business in Africa
The potential that investing in Fashion and other similar industries can exponentially change the economic status of many Africans today and tomorrow in a lucrative way
