Black Americans Investing and Relocating : Africa
What do you guys think of this? I have mixed opinions. On one hand I think this is a pretty cool opportunity, but then I also think that while people are investing in other countries, maybe they should be investing in good ol’ America.
This Time Magazine article highlights Africa’s still largely untapped economy, calling the continent the world’s last investment frontier.
Two years ago, BET.com featured a few photos from “Blacks Without Borders: Chasing the American Dream in South Africa,” a documentary about Black American entrepreneurs who are relocating to South Africa and finding success there.
Now, a Baltimore group, Diversity Restoration Solutions, will screen the film during its 2010 Africa Business Conference and Trade Fair in June. The film’s director and producer Stafford Bailey will be on hand to talk about his film and how Americans who have made the move to Africa are handling their transitions.
Registration information for the conference in Baltimore is below.
Both the film screening and the conference will be held:
When: June 22-24, 2010
Location: The Conference Center at the Maritime Institute
and BWI Airport Marriott Hotel
692 Maritime Blvd
Baltimore, MD 21090

Doesn’t everybody?

Especially for Barbie’s B-Day, the doll will be available for its original price of $3 for one week only from March 6 to March 13 at major retailers nationwide.
