Boardroom Banter

Founders Friday 036: The Brain Drain Dilemma

24 Mar 2023

Description

Is the grass greener on the other side, or perhaps just the side you choose to water? On this Founders Friday episode we spiced things up by introducing a new segment; peer-to-peer conversations with a 'Founder-In-Studio'. To kick us off, we invited our good friend Jefferson Kangacha to join us in the boardroom from his lovely home in Ithaca, New York. We discussed the concept of “brain drain”- where young talented Africans leave the continent for work or studies and decide to relocate permanently.  As a current student at Cornell University and accomplished social impact researcher, Jeff unpacks his experience of weighing his post-graduate options, and the psychology behind our youth leaving for good. As a common thread, we all explored how changing work dynamics, increased global exposure and social pressure have influenced our desires to stay in or leave Africa to pursue greener pastures.
