🌟 Celebrating Tebogo Letsile’s Gold Medal Triumph! 🌟 Botswana, known for its sparkling diamonds, has just proven that our true gem lies in our people! 🏅 Tebogo Letsile’s phenomenal 200m gold win is not just a personal triumph but a testament to our nation's untapped potential. Let’s take a moment to honor not only Tebogo but also past legends like Isaac Makwala and Amantle Montsho who have proudly represented Botswana on the world stage.

Imagine a future where athletics is as celebrated and monetized as it is in the U.S., diversifying our GDP and nurturing future champions. Botswana, let’s invest in our golden talent and shine even brighter on the global stage! 🌍✨ #BotswanaPride #TebogoLetsile #AthleticsInvestment #GoldInOurPeople

My new Letter From Rwanda piece: Nigeria’s Chidimma Adetishina — The Next Global Super Model | by Dolapo Aina | Sep, 2024 | Medium There are incidents that cannot be PR’ed by any country. People lose interest in the skies once the rainbow that comes after the rain isn’t there any longer. Nigerians used to flock that geographical landscape in the past. Not anymore. Rwanda has taken that mantle as Nigerians Visit Rwanda (for the serenity, tranquility, beauty, security and the forward thinking policies of the Government et al) every other blessed day, a plane lands at the Kigali International Airport. In the African tourism sector, the market to have has always been the Nigerian market. The market to hold on to has always been the Nigerian market.

Except you want to experience stories that touch.” #Nigeria #GlobalCommunications #StrategicCommunications #SoftPower
