The Thriving Business Revolution Linking Africa and Its Diaspora

“I am not African because I was born in Africa, but because Africa was born in me,” articulated by Kwame Nkrumah, resonates with the diaspora's quest to reconnect with their roots. Since Ghana's “Year of Return,” over 1,500 African Americans have settled there, enhancing ties with the continent. Initiatives like Sierra Leone's citizenship program further stimulate this movement. As 200 million Africans live abroad, opportunities are ripe for economic investment, cultural exchanges, and collaborations, significantly boosting trade ties through ventures like the Afreximbank Africa Trade Centre in Barbados.
