Giants of Africa

"Giants of Africa has really helped me dream big." 🏀 From Kenya to the States, GOA alum Emily Musosi is proof that basketball opens doors – but tenacity keeps you moving through them. 💪🏾

"I am Somali, and we are Africa." For Abdirahman Abdalla, the Giants of Africa Festival was more than a basketball tournament, it was a revelation. Despite coming from different cultures and religions, Abdirahman saw firsthand how one ball can connect an entire continent. 🏀
