In this episode of "Diaspora Conversations," Darren Britt from the North Carolina chapter of ADDI connects with Steve Mattison, a real estate investor from Toronto, Canada, to discuss, #diasporainvestments, their plans to invest in Africa and build a more robust network within the diaspora. Steve shares his experiences with Toronto's high housing costs and plans to transition to Africa by renovating a property into multi-unit housing. They dive into the challenges of zoning and permits in Canada and the broader housing shortage in Ontario.

The conversation shifts to the opportunities in Africa, where both Darren and Steve see the growth potential, particularly in real estate, #realestateinafrica, and solar energy. Steve emphasizes the importance of long-term planning and creating sustainable businesses on the continent. However, it's Darren who truly highlights the value of group economics, #groupeconomics, making each individual feel empowered and part of a collective effort to collaborate on community development projects in Africa.
They explore the benefits of African countries controlling their own resources, the impact of the African Continental Free Trade Agreement, and the crucial role of connecting diaspora communities globally. This discussion sets the stage for future collaborations, mastermind groups, and efforts to attract more investors to Africa and underscores the vital importance of diaspora collaboration in the continent's development.
Stay tuned for more insightful conversations as Darren and Steve continue to document their journey toward building a brighter future for the African diaspora.
