Welcome to episode 12 of the Shaping Africa podcast. For those of you that have been listening to the podcast this season, you know we are focusing on telling the stories of Africans who have made the “Great Return” from the diaspora. As we’ve been creating content, I’ve been thinking hard about providing a return blueprint of sorts and so I thought I’d do a few of these advice type episodes to help anyone who might be considering a transition back to the continent.

I’ve dubbed these episodes “The Return Blueprint” and today I’ll be sharing three things:

1. The number one biggest lie in making a transition to Africa from the diaspora
2. My strategy for getting to your unshakable and unwavering why for moving back
3. The top two virtues you need a healthy dose of to make a successful transition - yes, there are others, but these two will hold you in good stead...

To give me feedback on the Return Blueprint episode and the podcast in general, please send me an email at rose@shapingafrica.com. I've also published some polls which you can feel free to participate in.
