Welcome to Africa Plug, a Podcast about Africans navigating the world of work as Africans at local, regional and international levels. I am your host Chimwemwe John Paul Manyozo.  In this podcast, I will share opportunities for Africans and discuss common challenges such as imposter syndrome, immigration, and race, among others. I will also discuss how we, as Africans,  can develop competitive application documents for scholarships, fellowships, jobs, and other career-related opportunities. I share the tools and resources available that we can utilise to improve ourselves and also increase our chances of landing various opportunities. It will not just be me talking; I will invite guests from various African countries from various backgrounds who will share their unique experiences navigating the professional world as an African.

We will be releasing a new episode every first Friday of the month. So, I'd like you to be on the lookout. If you have questions, comments or suggestions, please email consult@chimwemwemanyozo.com. I'm looking forward to talking with you all.
