Africa Now: Why This Series Matters & What You’ll Learn
Welcome to Africa Now: The New Power – Africa’s BRICS-Backed Rise. This weekly series will explore one of the most fascinating, underreported, and misunderstood global stories of our time: Africa’s rapid transformation and its growing role on the world stage.
Every Tuesday, we’ll dig into how African countries are leading bold infrastructure projects, advancing in fintech and energy, partnering with BRICS nations, and quietly shaping the future of global economics. While many in the West still view Africa through an outdated lens, a new reality is unfolding—and you need to see it.
Why Africa? Why Now?
Africa is no longer “up and coming”—it’s rising right now. Cities like Nairobi, Kigali, Lagos, and Addis Ababa are buzzing with innovation. Countries are building ports, highways, data centers, and clean energy grids—often with funding and partnership from BRICS nations like China, India, and Russia.
Meanwhile, mobile banking and fintech adoption in places like Kenya, Nigeria, and Ghana are outpacing much of the Western world. Young African entrepreneurs are solving real-world problems with creativity and grit—and investors are starting to notice.
Still, most people in the U.S. and Europe have no idea this is happening. This series aims to change that.
What This Series Will Cover
Each week, you’ll get a fresh, captivating story straight from the continent. Topics will include:
✔️ Infrastructure Mega Projects – Roads, ports, railways, and smart cities changing the game
✔️ Energy & Innovation – How solar, hydro, and green tech are being scaled fast
✔️ Tech Hubs & Startups – The rise of Africa’s “Silicon Valleys”

✔️ Geopolitical Moves – BRICS+ expansion, China-Africa ties, and the global realignment of power
✔️ The Human Story – Real people, bold ideas, and the future being built right now
You’ll also get insight into what these shifts mean for travelers, digital nomads, expats, investors, and entrepreneurs.
Why I’m Writing This Series
Because I’m fascinated—and more people should be.
I believe Africa is one of the most important regions to watch over the next decade. Not just for its resources or markets, but because of its creativity, potential, and resilience. I want to document that rise in real time.
