07/18/19 • 43 min

Mimi Kalinda, Group CEO of the Africa Communications Media Group ACG, and a Forbes Afrique top 40 under 40 for 2018 is a powerhouse. And she’s serious about Africa and African narratives. When ACG says ‘’we know Africa’’ it’s neither idle or ‘’just marketing’’, it is real With operations and a footprint of partners covering all 54 countries on the continent, Mimi is all in.

This amazing woman continues to lead her firm, breaking barriers and busting myths about what is possible and what excellence is on our continent. I’m a Mimi fan, can you tell? We discuss doing business in Africa, the good, bad and ugly. We also tackle the narrative #AfricaRising and discuss ‘’who’s narrative is it anyway, and in service of what?’’I think you’ll really enjoy this one. Let me know what you think in the comment section below.
