This week on the Dear Young Afrikan podcast we are discussing elections and leadership in Africa and to help us break this down, I invited my good friend and fellow Amanfo), Nana Kojo Adu Amofa

He joins me to talk about the factors that influence voter patterns in Africa, why clientelism has and hasn’t worked in African elections and the tools used by African youth to effect change for the continent.

I also put Amofa on the hot seat and asked him to give his assessment of the incumbent government in Ghana. Given the current difficulties the country is facing, i thought why not hear what a political analyst has to say right?

You don’t always get to sit down for close to an hour with one of Uber's top executives, so when Jessica Poku accepted to be on the podcast, it was such a special moment for me!
When Jessica graduated from Duke University, it was hard to find work or at least work that she actually wanted. But she is quick to take full responsibility saying “the reason I was without work was because I didn’t have a plan when I graduated”.

Since that episode of her life, she’s become an aggressive planner having multiple back-ups just in case the original plan fails. She opens up about what a bad day at work looks like, the imposter syndrome she still faces and how she deals with it. The shift from being Country Manager in Ghana to Global Operations Lead she admits has been quite challenging.

We also discuss STEM education in Ghana, how she is supporting more women to get into influential roles at Uber, her love for Kanye West and her music career which she is yet to pursue full-time. Fun fact: when Jessica was 16, she and girl squad released an album with 20 tracks! Trust me when I say this episode is goooood!

You might have heard the popular saying “Naija people no dey carry last”. This week I am speaking to one of such young Nigerians Chidi Nwaogu is a serial tech entrepreneur, ecosystem builder, and software developer. He has a reputation for building businesses and selling them at some point. He started learning to code at age 13 and by 16, he had created 9ja Boi Interactive, a video game development company. We talk about his purpose, why and how he builds businesses so fast, and how he and his twin brother went from being atheists to being Christians and why he believes God is a major part of his success.

Chidi is very passionate about seeing more Africans win. In his own words, he says “I could be a success story right? But that is not enough. We need a million and one success stories from Africa”. If you have an idea you want to transform into a business or if you are in the process of building something, this is an episode not to miss. Chidi gives us a crash course on how he moves from having ideas in his mind to building a profitable venture.

Hey Podcast fam! We kick off season 2 with a conversation I had with Alfred Afutu; co-founder of Konzoom. Konzoom is an online grocery delivery service based in Accra, Ghana. What makes Konzoom outstanding? They promise to deliver your order in 60 minutes and according to the young co-founder, that’s a promise they keep with every single order despite the heavy traffic in Accra.

When it comes to creating inclusive spaces, the developing (and even the developed) world has a lot of barriers to overcome. How inclusive are the spaces you are part of? Are you intentional about making sure your work place for example has structures in place to support disabled workers and customers?

In a culture where fast growth remains a priority, those who move at a slower pace might be considered a liability based on poor judgement of their capabilities. Mabel Suglo shared some insights on what employers can do differently.
