Episode notes
Why are so many Africans moving home, and what are they building when they get here? This episode explores the industries growing from returnee energy, fashion, beauty, food and asks whether coming home is emotional, strategic, or both. We also dig into the stats behind the diaspora's growing economic footprint across the continent, from remittances to startup funding.
