Wimbart have earned every bit of the praise they receive. They helped shape the stories and momentum we see today. Happy birthday to one of my favourite teams. Thanks for having me celebrate with you 🥳
“The work that Wimbart does and has been doing for the last decade is translating good products into meaningful stories.” - @PreciousOLade African builders have been solving some of the world’s most complex challenges, from telehealth in rural Kenya to seamless cross-border payments across West Africa. We focus on telling such stories - transformative stories of some of the most impactful innovations. It's a welcome validation to know that this focus is evident in the ecosystem. We look forward to telling more stories of the people and companies doing brilliant work on the continent.

We are in terrible TERRIBLE times and we did not get here overnight.

The @ourbrokenchain producers were in London for the first private screening of the documentary on European continent. A huge thank you to @adaventures for organising the event. We also want to thank @atomico for hosting the screening at their office. 🖤

I once had a corp speaking oppy. The organizer asked my fee & I told her. She paused. Your fee should be at least $10k. Another speaker is getting $$$. Now what’s your fee? I raised my fee. That is how we help other women level up. Don’t contribute to exploitation culture.

So many real lives were affected by this useless red list, and the problems don't just disappear because it's been scrapped. People missed funerals, cancelled weddings, some even took out loans to pay for the hotels, all for you to turn around a week later and say "whoops"?!

She sold her company for $320m despite the current macro in Nigeria. Some guys who had never raised 1m Naira for any business idea are saying it’s not a good exit. If it’s that easy, you sef go do am!

The craziest part about all of this is that Faye will still be the one to dump Teddy and I will have NO sympathy for him. How much can one person disrespect them self? #LoveIsland
