"A New Image of Africa" is a groundbreaking movement aimed at reshaping perceptions of the continent, championing its resilience, innovation, and economic vitality. More than a mere broadcast, it's a call to action for like-minded youth across the continent to join in and share their stories, contributing to the dispelling of outdated stereotypes about Africa as the "dark continent."

New Image of Africa - Infrastructure Revolution, with Nelson Boateng

 

To speak on this topic, we are joined by Nelson Boateng, founder of Nelplast Eco Ghana Limited who are "killing two birds with one stone" by ridding the state capital of filth and providing affordable building materials made from plastic waste. Unlike many who recycle plastic waste into bags or other handy products, Nelplast Eco Ghana uses plastics as ‘concrete’ to build roads and houses. He highlights how important it is to look at new materials that can play an important part in infrastructure development.

New Image of Africa - Cultural Wealth, with Magatte Wade

There is no better person to speak on this topic than Magatte Wade. Magatte came up with the idea to start a beverage company when she visited her native Senegal and found that cola had replaced traditional hibiscus drinks. Worried that the drinks and the heritage would be lost, Wade approached Greg Steltenpohl, who had recently left as head of Odwalla Inc. Other than that, she has featured on TED Talk and multiple platforms speaking on excessive regulatory environment in Africa which forces young Africans to emigrate for economic reasons.
