IRON Series Webinar

Part II of "The Ziaspora" follows up on the conversation had with African members of Generation Z - recent graduates and college students who are still finding themselves and their path to a purpose-driven life. This part of the series focuses on the real-life implications of pressuring young people to be successful without a plan and without adequate socio-emotional maturity. Our featured guest Adebisi Adebowale talks about her work in this area, training both parents and educators on providing meaningful mentorship around leadership development. She also talks about her path to social entrepreneurship as a woman, and the implications it has had on her vision for improving the lives of young Africans across the diaspora.

 With a combination of exploding youth populations and the "reverse migrant" trend, young African professionals are in need of strong guidance to navigate their professional and personal journeys.  Four diaspora members of Generation (Gen) Z share their thoughts on this topic.

Part II of Session III gives listeners specific tools and strategies women may use to achieve financial independence, as professionals and entrepreneurs.

Part I of session III introduces listeners to the guest experts, and focuses on the psychological, economic, and personal obstacles women must overcome to achieve financial independence. 

Seun and Misan Rewane (Harvard Business School alumna and CEO of WAVE) discuss practical solutions to public/private partnerships, and the vital role entrepreneurs play in education reform, job creation and economic stimulus for African countries.
