EPISODE 8: "PLANT YOUR TREE"

On this episode we start of the first episode of 2021 with lessons we learned from the previous year. The pandemic shifted a lot in our reality and we delve into what exactly the year taught us and how we maneuvered through it and pushed through the year. We move over into basketball as we talk about the wild trade that the Nets and Houston Rockets made to acquire James Harden to play alongside Kyrie Irving, and former teammate Kevin Durant. In African news, Ghana becomes a hub for many entrepreneurs as they have the most up and coming female Entrepreneurs. This leads to a conversation about Matriarchies in African and how important they were and still are in Africa's history. Lastly, we speak on China's continual involvement in Africa building and creating projects all across the continent. On this episode we introduced new segments that we had in the works for a while. The first segment is called Social Media Stories where we take funny stories and bring them to light. Lastly, we introduce to you Uncle Benja. Uncle Benja always ends the show with words of wisdom and leaves you with the African Proverb for this episode.  Hope you enjoy!
