    Freedom Is the Starting Line — Letter 7: A Letter to the One Who Embraces the Reality and Deals With It

    Freedom in and of itself is not the end. It's just the beginning. We just got to the starting line. This letter is to the one who embraces the reality and deals with it. In this letter we look at taking responsibility for the continent's future: moving beyond the bare minimum, why freedom is the starting line and not the finish, measuring ourselves against where the continent ought to be rather than where it used to be, what Africans at home and in the diaspora can contribute with their education and exposure, building systems and structures so the next generation does not start from zero, research and development, execution, and quality education. This is our appointed time, and we're the ones we have been waiting for. Africa's Gen Z: Letters to a Generation. A well for a generation of shapers, at home and abroad.

    Beyond Current Models — Letter 6: A Letter to the One Building a Life Unfamiliar to Their World

    The transformation that we require in the world, on our continent, is going to take going into the unfamiliar. Make it business unusual until unusual becomes usual. This letter is to the one building a life unfamiliar to their world. In this letter we look at following an unconventional path: why the current model will not take us to the levels of transformation we desire, why popular is not the same as right, the discomfort of doing things outside the norm, ambition that is about purpose and the generations after us, the industrialists, inventors and scientists the continent needs, and how clarity comes from taking steps, doing your research and learning from the best in the world. It is in the unfamiliar that new frontiers can be charted. Africa's Gen Z: Letters to a Generation. A well for a generation of shapers, at home and abroad.

    Culture Is Not Static — Letter 5: A Letter to the One Who Adapts to the Necessities of the Times

    Every culture evolves. Culture is not static. We determine our culture. This letter is to the one who adapts to the necessities of the times. In this letter we look at culture and tradition in Africa: the difference between traditions and culture, why culture is not a static thing, taking time seriously, how nations were not always this way, what survival of the fittest really means, the traditions we retain and the culture we evolve into: discipline, seriousness, research, education, time consciousness and mutual respect, while we keep the values of love and community. If you want to progress, then culture has to be progressive. Africa's Gen Z: Letters to a Generation. A well for a generation of shapers, at home and abroad.

    The Brand of Africa — Letter 4: A Letter to the One Who Speaks Well of Home, Wherever They Are

    Brand is very important. A brand is what shapes any organization, any business, any country, any continent. This letter is to the one who speaks well of home, wherever they are. In this letter we look at the brand of Africa: how we carry it at home and in the African diaspora, why investment follows brand, and how each of us can paint a fuller, more well-rounded picture of Africa. Resilience, love, joy, resourcefulness, passion, fashion, excellence and wealth. Because all these things are true. Africa's Gen Z: Letters to a Generation.

    Your Life Really Matters — Letter 3: A Letter to the One Who Doesn't Know What to Do With Their Life

    Each and every person is an asset that must be cultivated in order to produce fully. This letter is to the one who doesn't know what to do with their life. In this letter we look at finding your purpose and your gifts: the things you do naturally, following your interests, figuring it out by service, and the pointers to what to do with your life, from what you are passionate about to what draws you in. Your life really, really matters. Africa's Gen Z: Letters to a Generation. A well for a generation of shapers, at home and abroad. Watch the film of this letter at www.africasgenz.com.

    Put Some Respect On It — Letter 2: A Letter to the One Who Is Kinder to Everyone Else Than to Themselves

    Self-esteem is not other-esteem. Everything else is built off the way you esteem yourself. This letter is to the one who is kinder to everyone else than to themselves. In this letter we look at self-esteem, self-worth and setting boundaries: placing a value on yourself, knowing your worth and what you carry, and keeping boundaries around what you allow. Don't stay where you are tolerated. Put some respect on it. Africa's Gen Z: Letters to a Generation. A well for a generation of shapers, at home and abroad.

    Indecision Is a Decision — Letter 1: A Letter to the One Choosing Depth Over the Algorithm

    Indecision is a decision. The decision not to do anything is a decision to accept things the way they are. This letter is to the one choosing depth over the algorithm. In this letter we look at focus, attention and purpose in the age of social media: going deep, finding what you are truly passionate about, moving from a consumer society to a production society, and being the best at what you chose. Uncommon sense comes from depth. Africa's Gen Z: Letters to a Generation. A well for a generation of shapers, at home and abroad. Watch the film of this letter at www.africasgenz.com.
