I am deeply humbled to announce my appointment to the Advisory Board of the Smithsonian's National Museum of African American History and Culture . This incredible institution, nestled in the heart of the United States in Washington DC, serves as a global beacon for the richness and diversity of African art, history, and culture. As an African rooted in the dynamic heritage of our continent and the values that shaped me, this opportunity holds a profound meaning. It’s not just about celebrating African art—it’s about showcasing the power of our stories, our creativity, and our contributions to the global cultural landscape. This appointment is also a reminder of the power of community and support. My deepest gratitude goes to Teresa Clarke, Myma Belo-Osagie and John K. Lapiana for their guidance, encouragement and advocacy. To my community and everyone who believes in the transformative power of culture, let us continue to ensure that Africa’s narratives stand tall on the global stage. I look forward to working with this exceptional institution to amplify the voices of African artists, preserve our legacies, and inspire future generations to embrace the depth of African identity.? https://lnkd.in/etyDGVwt https://lnkd.in/eMXw8i_y

When pivoting your marketing and communications to cater to enterprise audiences, it’s essential to be present where they are. In the past few months, Flutterwave has taken the stage at major events like the UNGA, the J.P. Morgan Techstars Conference, and Money20/20 Las Vegas 2024. Our message, whether delivered by our Founder and CEO, Olugbenga Agboola, our Chief Regulatory and Public Policy Officer, Oluwabankole Falade, or our CFO, Mitesh Popat, has been consistent and clear: Africa has a wealth of efficient in-country payment methods, but they often don’t connect with one another. For Africa to operate as a unified financial ecosystem, synergy is crucial. Flutterwave is bridging this gap, providing a unified payment network across 30+ African countries that enterprises can seamlessly integrate with to expand their reach. Personally, I was at Money 20/20, and it was inspiring to hear from our customers and partners about how their perception of Flutterwave has evolved—from a payments provider to a comprehensive enterprise payments partner in recent months. The energy and ideas at the conference were unmatched, and the insightful conversations we had at our booth added even more value. I’m grateful to have experienced it all.
