Business in Africa: Romanticized Fantasy or Viable Opportunity?

from Mental Dialogue

The CHINESE are already there and AFRICA seemingly has become the darling of the business world again, especially the tech sector.  Erik Hersman, who refers to himself as the White African on twitter, tweeted, "AFRICA is the last "blue ocean" for tech, the opportunities here are huge. Why would you choose anywhere else?"   The conscious community, as far back as MARCUS GARVEY, has constantly encouraged AFRICAN-AMERICANS to reconnect with the motherland to do business.  The dream of doing business with our brothers and sisters in AFRICA has become a reality for a select few; but on a larger scale are AFRICAN-AMERICANS going to miss out on the business boom on the horizon in AFRICA?  Special guest MARIA LLOYD, from YourBlackWorld.net and historian/cultural critic JAMES JOHNSON visit MD to discuss doing business in Africa and beyond. MENTAL DIALOGUE asking the questions America's afraid to ask. ALL I ASK IS THAT YOU THINK
