Trade, diaspora economies, emergent grantmaking, and building systems that move resources where they matter most.
Trade & Diaspora Economies
My personal mission is to strengthen and build relevant knowledge and trade corridors linking East Africa to the Eastern Caribbean and the Americas. This means connecting diasporic innovation with catalytic investing, enabling African and Diaspora-owned enterprises to access new markets, and reimagining what intra-regional trade looks like when it's designed by the communities it's meant to serve.
Emergent Grantmaking
Traditional grantmaking often replicates the power structures it claims to dismantle. I'm working on adaptive, community-informed philanthropic strategies that embed equity in decision-making, strengthen organizational effectiveness, and foster learning cultures that can respond to unpredictable political and economic climates.
