She is interested in sustainable development in Africa-China agribusiness alliances and driving great social impact in and around these cross-cultural relations.
She serves as Business Development Manager, for China’s first-ever Africa Week, which saw hundreds of Chinese and expat communities come together to celebrate African culture in Beijing. This culminated in China’s first African Start-up competition, where all profits from the week were rewarded to a Ghanaian Accessories Start-up. Kente & Silk’s Africa Week will return bigger and better in May 2019. Her Africa-China Story has been a miraculous adventure and it continues.
