I am a big advocate of speaking up  and sharing your own narrative. If we don't share our stories, someone else will do a bad job at telling it. Africa is not poor. So in this episode I encourage you to control your narrative. I also encourage you to check on your Nigerian friends and even some of the past guests like The Fisayo and Pelu who were on the frontlines demanding for their rights. We all have a role to play.
