@Taryl_Ogle Good morning future Influential top 100 in Africa

GM fam TGIF 🤸🏽‍♀️ Dreams are meant to be actualized. Today is a good day to make yours real. Let's get it! Drop a GM below 💗🩵

I am live from Kigali Rwanda at the Africa CEO forum. Over 2,500 CEOs, Heads of State, investors, and policymakers from more than 75 countries — all converging on one question: 📌 "Scale or Fail: Why Africa Must Embrace Shared Ownership" Africa can no longer afford fragmented markets and siloed ambitions. It is time to move from ambition to concrete. Africa is not just participating in the global economic order. We are here to define it. #OURACF2026 #AfricaCEOForum #ACF2026 #Kigali #Rwanda #Africa #Leadership #Business #AfricaRising

Africa is at the centre of the global critical minerals story which is a key input into the AI story. The question is whether we choose to be architects of that story — or do we just remain suppliers to it? It is up to us as Africans to create the value we want to see. Let's play the long-term game." The talent is here. The capital is here. What this moment demands is the courage to scale. This is not just rallying cry but a commitment if Africa is to scale. #OURACF2026 #ACF2026

Does Africa really have a talent gap? Yes. Recently, Tosin, CEO of Moniepoint (one of Africa’s unicorns), made a point that many founders and leaders quietly agree with: Experienced talent is hard to find in Africa. After spending the last 6 years building talent solutions, I’ve come to a clear conclusion: Africa does not have a skill problem. We have an experience problem. We have brilliant, hungry, and Smart people. But the number of people who have actually scaled companies from startup to billions of dollars is still very small. That’s the real gap. If you look at companies like Konga, Jumia, and Andela, they didn’t just rely on local talent. They combined it with international experience to build strong operational and growth systems. And over time, many of the talents they developed moved on to global opportunities. I’ve experienced this gap firsthand as a founder. One of my biggest lessons has been this: Talent alone is not enough. Without experienced operators, growth becomes expensive, chaotic, and slower than it should be. This is part of the reason I’m launching @bluework_ from Austin, Texas. We help high-growth startups hire and manage fractional US-based operators who have actually built and scaled before. Not consultants, but operators who can work closely with your team, build systems, and improve execution weekly. Our focus is on startups that are: • Doing at least $500K in ARR • Or have recently raised over $1M We also work with investors who want stronger execution across their portfolio companies and corporate organizations looking to be a global standard. If you’re building a company and need experienced operators around your team, let's talk. Bluework.io

@Thickslender The whole travel ban thing is not really an excuse cos you can travel to and from well I did for work so it doesn’t fly but putting that aside people can be engaged for however long but it’s just that with our people we want engagement then marriage right after, is unconvincing.

Hi everyone. I have a friend of mine mukomana who is outside Zim. He is dating his girlfriend for more than a year. So arikuti he was a having a conversation with his girlfriend who is in Zim nekuti anoda kuroorwa rinhi and according to her. She wants to get married soon so that she can have kids before 30. Because of the current situation muface cannot travel because kune travel ban ku USA. He can only travel muna 2028. He communicated his intention about settling down and mari iripo to settle down but he cannot do it right now because it would be pointless kuti aroore now because haakwanise kutora mukadzi wake(travel ban). Muskna is saying handisikuwona reason yekumirira 2 years but he said at one time he mentioned that ayida kuita engagement the girl refused because hazvibatsire kuva engaged for 2 years zvinoda pasara 4 to 6 months mazuva eroora aswedera. Kindly share your perspective on this issue. Remember to be kind with your comments . Thank you

Win the day

GM CT It's Tuesday!! 🤸🏽‍♀️ Which means Monday is behind us, Wednesday is lying about how close it is, and the weekend is somewhere laughing at us 😂 Keep building baby.

@GIOOCVMPO @KingKandoro aspiring to reach such levels 😂

Iced out sitting courtside while watching his biggest nemesis fall. Real hate deserves respect.

You know what our real problem is? We're too afraid to show up for each other. Hold on, hear me out... let me land this plane. "What if they do better than me?" "What if they make more money?" "What if people like them more than they like me?" "What if their brand gets more visibility than mine?" So we don't engage. We don't support. We don't show up. And we've convinced ourselves that's just "focus" but let's be honest, a lot of it is insecurity and outright selfish. And then we come on these timelines comparing African ecosystems to San Francisco. Talking about infrastructure gaps. Capital gaps. Ecosystem gaps. Like the only thing standing between Africa and it's moment is a VC fund in Menlo Park. But who's asking the harder question? What are African's doing to African's? Because I've watched it up close. There are a very select few people on this continent with the genuine capacity to celebrate a fellow African without feeling threatened by their success. To share someone's post without calculating what it costs them. To make an intro without needing something back. To say "well done" and actually mean it. And yet we turn around and expect the world to show up for us. We want foreign investors to believe in African founders. We want global platforms to amplify African voices. We want other ecosystems to take us seriously. Oh we contradict ourselves at every turn and then wonder why the rest of the world isn't paying attention. How? How do we expect others to show up for us when we won't show up for each other? How?! There's a clear a mindset problem and it's one we rarely have the courage to name out loud. The ecosystem we keep praying for won't be built by capital alone. It'll be built by people who decide to show up for each other before there's anything in it for them. Be that person bruv. Africa needs it.

@Taryl_Ogle Oh man talk about hitting the nail on the head🙏

The way @ZakweSA was rapping on Roots is not mentioned enough when we talk of Legendary verses in SA hip hop @sahiphop247

Three founders. Same revenue, same margin, same runway, same ask. One walks out at 1.2x. One at 2.4x. One at 3.8x. The gap is not financial. New piece on why black founders get priced out of their own companies before the first Rand arrives, and the four-move playbook for closing the gap. Full piece below. Would welcome push-back from anyone who has sat on the other side of the table.

Good morning African child, Your dreams are valid. Your vision is needed. Your time is now. Go build!
