Everyday I get pulled into dynamic conversations and explorations - on one of such I engaged with policy makers in Kenya and they shared with me their interest in collaborating with America in the Entertainment space... same came from Nigeria and South-Africa. I took that conversation to leaders in Chicago and they did confirm that this city offers incredible scenery and movie studios that rivals those in Hollywood at a fraction of the cost - "yes.." they said - "...we are open to exploring and collaborating with Africa's movie Directors and Actors who wish to shoot movies in this city or work with our world-class production teams..."
Ah! An idea was born! What would such an engagement look like?
Over the past few months I have engaged privately to draft, redraft and discuss concepts of what a Chicago - Africa engagement would look like. For me to proceed I needed it to be results focused - something tangible and with measurable impact. We would bring together specific leaders from specify sectors, each to present what Africa has to offer Chicago through collaborations and in turn what Chicago has to offer Africa in B2C, B2B and B2G partnerships. This event will be on Nazaru's Trade and Investment Network to facilitate pre and post event real time engagement 24/7. You are invited to register! Learn more at https://www.nazaru.com/chicago
I've been told there is much to unravel in my world - yes that is so true - if you stick with me you are in for a ride...
