The African Social Enterprise Forum sent me an invitation to speak in late September for their inaugural conference in NYC in late September.

Hunger, poverty, war, and despair might have even come to mind. Well think again. Africa is rich. Hear a little bit of why I think Africa is rich as well as some of the reasons why I think being an entrepreneur is the least risky thing I could ever do:
