The last but one speaker that talked about service really made my day. I genuinely believe that

[@movingtowardswellness6675]

Establishing supply (value) chains throughout the Black Diaspora is so valuable. I would like to partner up with African businesses to create new markets in America. Agriculture has the capacity to facilitate such endeavors.

[@marleym652]

That would be fantastic exposure for African businesses, especially if it would be small/start up businesses.
I know there are tons of small business owners here in South Africa who would love such a collaboration. One being the agricultural business idea I have.

How can an African born in the diaspora privately invest in the Africa market? Email me at [e-mail] with information on this subject. I would like to invest from within the diaspora group. Thank you!.

[@yosefelbeybey7964]

I'm interested also... Any information would be highly appreciated... A lot of the issues that was discussed can be fixed but it would require Some sort of connection between Africans on the continent and with African Americans and the Diasporas on a private level. Because it's the government that's holding Africa businesses down!
Facts.... African American spending Power is roughly 2.5 trillion dollars.. annually.... .! And that's private individuals... Its Strength in Numbers...

what an interesting panel discussion. Its not everyday that the media exposes us to such a dynamic group of Africans.

[@NzisaKiilu]

Imperative to serve the consumer is a profound closing to a dynamic panel discussion! Five years later, there is still plenty to learn from this.

[@cedricbrooks9570]

Yes it is very, very good, as a African America I have a deep interest in bridge the gap between African Americans to African continent and African around the world in general.

I agree...they are part of Africa.

[@yosefelbeybey7964]
