I love to tell stories of people who are doing amazing things. The standout show on this channel is the Founders Connect Series, where I sit with Black and African Builders, Innovators, Creators, Founders, and Operators to document their journey and the lessons learned along the way. My name is Peace Itimi. I am a creator, a marketer, and a founder. Catch up on socials @Peaceitimi and follow the founders connect series @foundersconnect_ / @thefcshow Watch my TED Talk A new reality has emerged, one where ambitious Africans are writing their own stories as builders and as innovators,” says business storyteller Peace Itimi. Taking us inside Africa’s booming tech scene, she highlights the trailblazing entrepreneurs and startups reshaping Africa's economy through innovation and ambition. - go.ted.com/peaceitimi For Sponsorship, Email: [email protected].
