About this listen

Experience the life story of Magatte Wade, the bold Senegalese entrepreneur and unflinching prosperity activist, determined to shape the destiny of her African homeland.

In this riveting memoir, Wade challenges Africans to redefine their narrative, casting aside imposed inferiority to reclaim their innate brilliance.

This is not a recounting of poverty and politics. It's an indictment of a world that views Africa as nothing more than a colonial chessboard, with charity acting as the block that keeps Africans stuck.

The surprising truth: Africa’s problems are not due to colonialism, corruption, bad leadership, poor skills, or a lack of education. It’s something much bigger, and yet it’s only been visible to entrepreneurs...until now.

Join the movement for Africa's rightful place in the 21st century: fostering innovation, earning prosperity, and growing into an economic powerhouse. Wade's impassioned voice promises nothing less than the dawn of a new era, poised to reshape history, create prosperity and peace, and unleash Africa’s bright future.

Amazing story

A really interesting book with great insights into life. Her experience as an African is inspiring because of what she has created for herself. Highly recommended reading.

Inspiring and Thought Provoking

The book is way better than I expected. It's time to stop moaning about past injustices and move on fast! Africa needs economic empowerment, good governance, ease of doing business, industries, etc., not aid. The author offers practical advice on ending poverty and kick-starting affected nations' economies. This is a fantastic book for those seeking to support Africa's success. Well done, Magatte.

Rubbish

Just can't say one good thing about this book. I was interested in the topic and bought the book based on that. it was terrible. No proper flow, jumped all around the place. Holes in the story. Just terrible. The author narrated and she was OK but the book was just a repeat of a few key sentences. Very rambling. Can't understand how this was published. The editor must have been crying.

Well the author has my money now so the last laugh is on me.
