I gave the keynote speech at the WIMBIZ 25th Annual Conference on the theme: The Geography of Opportunity.
Thank you, @Wimbiz , for doing something I have spent my whole life trying to do, refusing to accept that talent should be wasted because of where it was born, or to whom it was born.
Africa has the entrepreneurial talent. What it needs is the capital to unlock its potential.

African entrepreneurs, never underestimate the foundation you're laying today.
The small steps, lessons and efforts of today could become the building blocks of something extraordinary tomorrow.
Start where you are.
Make the most of what you have.
Keep building.
Every African entrepreneur knows these essentials 😂
Building a business takes grit, resilience and a little humour.
Entrepreneurs, what did we miss?

Talent opens doors, but access, mentorship, and the right connections turn potential into possibility.
Empowering the next generation means creating platforms where young people can learn, connect, share, and access opportunities.
The future grows when we open doors for others.
