Quote - “Afropolitan is daring to be yourself in a rapidly changing world and not having to ask for permission.”
The Afropolitan Podcast spotlights Afropolitans who aren’t afraid to step into the unknown and walk in purpose. With this podcast we hope to empower Africans in the Diaspora to harness their full potential and contribute to the development of a bold and progressive black community.
Our guests will share their working formulas, the hard facts about leaving familiar terrain, embracing the unknown, and staying relevant afterwards.
This episode features Fadekemi Abiru, Head Of Insights at Stears; a financial data/intelligence company providing subscription-based data/insight to professionals/businesses.
Fadekemi holds a BSc in Economics from the University of Bristol and an MSc in African Development from the London School of Economics. She previously worked as an economist for the UK government and provided analysis on various projects.
