Many Africans in the diaspora are familiar with the common practice of remittances “often used to describe a sum of money sent by someone working abroad to his or her family back home”. Most times this is a means of survival for our loved ones. While this is important and sometimes necessary, it is often unsustainable due to a lack of knowledge or skills transfer that results in people being able to generate and sustain their own livelihood. In 2016, the founder of Mighty Minds Africa, Ifunanya Enezuagu, asked a vital question that has propelled young Africans in the continent to their next levels.
Her question: “How might we help the continent’s youth move into innovative mindsets that facilitates change, create enterprise and knowledge transfer within their communities?”
She says:
The vision behind Mighty Minds Africa is to inspire Africans on the continent and within the diaspora to contribute to the re-development of African society. To this end, we have held events supporting the diaspora community, connecting them with resources for business growth and to programs like the State Department Prosper Africa initiative. We started this monthly networking series to hold space to gather for enjoyment, music, connection and a purpose. Donations by the community will support our 2nd annual Youth Empowerment Summit: Building sustainable futures for youth in the digital era in September 2022. This is the essence of Africa. ~Ifunanya Enezuagu, Founder & Executive Director mightymindsafrica.com ~
