ScaleUp Africa Ecosystem Conversations - Economic Justice, Black Trauma & TunedIn Leadership
In this power packed session, led by journalist and Emotional Justice policy advocate, Esther Armah, this dynamic panel explores an often overlooked element of Africa's historic legacy and trauma; what does it mean to deal with the legacy of untreated trauma that shapes how we craft our economy privileging a model that does not reflect our lived experience?
The session reflects upon the collective value systems, leadership mindset and transformation ''from standing still towards scaling up'' in a manner that fits our own circumstances and innate needs as a continent.
This conversation also highlights the critical role of 'African sisterhood' and how we can lead, as well as the need for the call to action of Scale Up Africa - a B2B Development Advisory firm specialising in Entrepreneurship, Innovation and Sustainable Development - to engage the Diaspora and Africa in building the Continent of the future through, what Taaka Awori has called a 'Tuned In Leadership'.
How might such change allow a people, a nation and a Continent to collectively scale up by better understanding how it stands still due to our legacy?
Panelists:
Taaka Awori, CEO Busara Africa;
Esther Armah, Executive Director, The Armah Institute of Emotional Justice
Amma Gyampo, Co-Founder ScaleUp Africa
