To be Black in White Spaces - With Tino Chibebe, Author of "The Black Opportunity"
from Dear Young Afrikan · host Nana Fredua Agyeman
October happens to be #BlackHistoryMonth in the UK so the timing couldn’t be better for this first episode of season 3. Today on the podcast I am talking to Tino Chibebe, a young Zimbabwean man who now lives in Belgium. He shares how and why your looks could be a key determinant of how you are treated in the venture capital space in Belgium. His book - The Black Opportunity: Conversations on Belgian Venture Capital and Afropean Entrepreneurship explores how the inclusion of black voices in the venture capital space will shape the world for generations to come. We dive into his experience writing his first book, how he almost gave up writing it and why he kept going. Tino also shares his experience of racism in Belgium and how he deals with it. We wrap up the conversation discussing his ties to Zimbabwe and how his work is connected to the African continent. Tino is the first Zimbabwean we have had on the Podcast so I am pretty excited about that!
