Sounds of the Tribes
Today I was filming at an event that I was fortunate enough to be asked to come along to. - I'm so glad I agreed. The event was called The Sounds of the tribes and it was an ode to Africa and those of African descent. –It opened my eyes. I realised that Afreecadotco is part of…
Business & Finance 3: Time management
What are you doing with your time?: It feels like everything in my life has led me to this moment. To afreecadotco. It’s funny in these times the things you remember.

6 months after returning from Kisii, Kenya…
Welcome to Africa!
This space is as much for encouraging growth and collaboration within and between African countries as it is about educating and empowering all those with a will to learn and a dream for development. There are enough people sharing with the world the tragedies of Africa, but in the age of information, tragedy serves little…
