The REAL reason for African poverty, with Magatte Wade

Fire at Will

Australiana is now Fire at Will - your safe space for dangerous conversations.

Why is Africa poor? There’s a series of trendy answers to that question, that are almost taken as read amongst the progressive elite that dominate our institutions. Racism, slavery, and colonialism.

Magatte Wade has called BS on this narrative, and she is uniquely qualified to do so, being widely regarded as the world’s leading African prosperity activist. She is an entrepreneur, speaker, and author. Her latest book is titled ‘The Heart of a Cheetah: How we have been lied to about African poverty, and what that means for human flourishing’.
