Why this blog?
Because what is portrayed in the media and which transpires in the general public's mind is that Africans flee their home countries for the USA, Europe, Asia or even within Africa, only to live in hardship abroad. The reasons: lack of or low education, poor language abilities for those in countries where the language is different than their original ones, legal status in limbo... Therefore they are mostly expected to stay confined into low level and odd jobs. Though these jobs provide for those doing them, the reality is very different for many others who overcome the obstacles to reach for higher grounds. This is where young Africans would learn about others' achievements and be inspired to do the same. Those looking for talented and ambitious Africans will also find a rich database to dig in. This site is interactive and all Africans are invited to honestly share their stories to show the side that some media never cover.
