Snake Nation

Two weeks of meticulous planning and years of hard work culminated in a truly special moment. We were honored to host the Atlanta Phambili delegation, including Mayor Andre Dickens, Ambassador Reuben Brigety, II, USAID, and Prosper Africa, at our Snake Nation HQ at Black Unicorns in Cape Town, South Africa. It was particularly poignant to welcome Mayor Dickens, who first connected with Snake Nation during our early days in Atlanta. This visit allowed us to showcase the vibrant South African culture, indulge in exquisite wines, and highlight our creative programs that unite the diaspora through the creative economy. This event underscored the significance of spaces like Black Unicorns Venture Studio, where creators and founders can flourish. We're committed to building bridges for commerce, trade, and cultural exchange. A special thanks to our partner Bright Insights Global LLC and sponsors, BMW Foundation Herbert Quandt?and Nice Beverage Company, plus the incredible talent who made this day unforgettable. Stay tuned for more exciting developments from ATL so SA! #ATLtoSA #GlobalCollaboration #CreativeEconomy #BlackUnicorns #SnakeNation #mayorvisit #blackunicornsventurestudio Karl Carter Andrew Ngare Tshitso Mosolodi Saidah Nash Carter

The creative industry is a global powerhouse, and Africa is uniquely positioned to capitalize on its immense potential. Our rich cultural heritage, diverse perspectives, and burgeoning talent pool offer a wealth of untapped opportunities. At Snake Nation, we're committed to empowering African and diaspora creatives by fostering a vibrant ecosystem where stories can thrive. By collaborating with filmmakers, musicians, designers, technologists and key stakeholders in government and finance, we're working to break down barriers and amplify African voices on the global stage. Here are some key takeaways from our #teamSN Fireside Chat with Tariro Washe, a Zimbabwean film producer, actress and conservationist at the AfriLabs Annual Gathering, 2024. #AAG2024: At Snake Nation, we're focused on the power of African storytelling: Our narratives are not just for us; they resonate with audiences worldwide. By sharing our authentic stories, we can challenge stereotypes and inspire change. The economic impact of creativity: The creative industries are a major driver of economic growth, creating jobs and generating revenue. By investing in our creative sector, we can unlock Africa's full potential. The role of technology: Technology is a powerful tool that can help us reach global audiences and distribute our content and move payments efficiently. By embracing innovation, we can stay ahead of the curve and compete on a global scale. "We believe that by harnessing the power of creativity, Africa can become a leading player in the global creative economy. Let's work together to build a future where African stories everywhere are celebrated, and African talent is recognized worldwide." - Karl Carter CEO, Snake Nation. #digitaleconomy #snakenation #paneltalk #firesidechat #annualgathering #africanstorytelling
