I was honored to accept the invitation from my friend Richard Attias, CEO of Attias Associates, and by extension, the President of Gabon, President Bongo, to travel with my personal hero and HOPE Global Spokesman Ambassador Andrew Young to Gabon to speak earlier this year at the NY Forum, Africa (in Gabon).  

My session, around sparking Africa Generation Entrepreneurship, was entitled FUTURE FLASH.

Commendation to the organizers for bringing together world leaders in Gabon, for Africa.  Good things are coming, as a result of this Forum. Stay tuned, and mark my word.
