Founders Friday 003: Our experiences navigating 'race' and our identities as young African leaders in a world devoid of context #BlackHistoryMonth

Conversations on race and identity are inescapable in our current time and contribute to the structuring of various pillars such as diversity and inclusion within communities and organizations. As we settle into the month of February and its celebration of Black History, the Founders recount their experiences navigating their identities as Africans in the different spaces they have stepped into over the years. They narrate instances where they've had to defend themselves from discrimination and give insights into the prevailing elements of white supremacy that face founders in the startup ecosystem on the African continent. They also analyze the shortfalls of mobile taxi services such as Bolt and Safe Boda in Kenya, which oftentimes focus on economic returns over the financial well-being of their drivers.
