Africon 2025 was more than an event, it was proof that the diaspora is shaping the creative future. In this episode, I continue my Africon recap with part two of my conversation with Anna and Odessa on the power of unity across the global Black community. Then I share highlights from my mentorship circle, where young creators explored how podcasting can amplify their stories. I also sit down with Nigeria’s Minister of Art, Culture, Tourism & the Creative Economy, Hannatu Musa Musawa, to talk about the country’s growing “Orange Economy,” and close the night with Anna and Sofi the Oddity on the Icon Gala red carpet.
