TRADING AFRICA: THE GENTRIFYING COSTS OF DIASPORA INVESTMENTS

Part 2 of the Trading Africa Series

Hosted by Dimah Mahmoud

Our board member, Dimah Mahmoud, hosted a discussion and conversation panel about the stereotypes, sexism, and Western dangers of trade in Africa on October 20, 2021. We broadcasted it on our Facebook page when it was live and it can still be viewed there now.

On October 29, 2021 the series continued with part, talking about the gentrification in African trade. This video was also broadcasted on our Facebook page and can now be view there as well.

This conversation is far from over and the problems still exist. Stay tuned with us for future updates regarding this series. If you want to know more or help with the cause, please search Twitter, Instagram, or Facebook for: #AskMoreQuestions and email us addressing Dimah and we will forward it to her!
