The Afridigest Week in Review is a must-read weekly recap for Africa-focused founders, executives, and investors, as well as interested observers.
Welcome back, friends! After speaking with many of you over the last several weeks, I’m introducing a new 'Community Corner' section in the weekly digest — feel free to ping me if you have any news, notes, links, events, etc. to share. (Also, some good news: we have a new intern who'll make some great contributions soon…exciting times ahead 🤗 )
If you’re new, welcome 🙌 — you’ll receive a weekly digest like this one every Monday and, generally (but not always), an original essay/article on Saturdays. For past essays and digests, visit the archive.
