Incredible #FIFAWorldCup 2022 ⚽️⚽️ My takeaways: - Messi is the 🐐 right now. - Mbappé will be the 🐐 when he’s done. - African players need to play for their countries of origin 🌍 - African countries must stop charging players to play 👎🏾 - World Cup is the #1 global event 📺

One of Alfred Burgesson’s achievements that landed him on the 2022 30 Under 30 innovators list is his BIPOC community platform that enables members to connect and explore job postings, grant funding and scholarships. Well done, Alfred!
