“Why become an entrepreneur in Africa?”That’s the question VOX ON is asking. From Morocco to Côte d’Ivoire, and from Tunisia to Senegal and Mali, women and men, young and old are sharing their stories. Openly. Honestly. Without filters. VOX ON is about real voices and the freedom to speak out even in places where that isn’t always easy. Your turn: What made you choose entrepreneurship? 💬🌍 @FNFreiheit #VoxOn #Africa #Entrepreneurship #Up4Democracy
