It has been about two years that we have been waiting for the release of Marvel’s Black Panther. However, ever since the announcement, the world has been impatiently waiting for its release. Teasers have been circling all over the internet and throughout the world. This includes funny memes, GIFs and hashtags such as #InWakanda. Of course, I was one of the many people that has been waiting a long time for the Black Panther release. In January, I contacted the cinema’s here in Dakar, asking if and when they would screen Black Panther. I was definitely happy to hear that they would premiere Black Panther on February 16th. Certainly, I was happier when I reserved myself a ticket for the original version (English spoken) of Black Panther for last Friday! In this post, I will tell you all about it. Keep on reading :).
Events
Dakar Digital Economy Symposium 2018
A while back, I went to the Dakar Digital Economy Symposium at the Radisson Blu hotel next to Sea Plaza. It was the first time attending such an event while in Senegal. In addition, it was Tigo that sponsored the event and I had the chance to help out. Therefore, I designed the badges and helped on the day of the event. Even though I do not know a lot about IT and how to build a start-up, businesses in emerging markets and the role of digitalisation are interesting. If you are curious about the Digital Economy Symposium 2018, keep on reading! (more…)

Dakar Farmer’s Market
On the first Sunday of December, I went to the Dakar Farmer’s Market with my sister in Ouakam, Dakar. Every first Saturday of the month, from December 2017 until June 2018, there is a Farmer’s Market where biological and artisanal products are being sold. The overall objective is to promote local consumption and the well-being of the Senegalese community. The market brings together more than 80 different exhibitors that offer a wide range of quality agri-foods and natural cosmetics.

African Business Day 2017
Yesterday, I went to the African Business Day 2017 in Rotterdam, the Netherlands at the Erasmus University. I already went last year, so I had already an idea of how it would be and how well-organized the event actually is. And since I wrote a blogpost about last year’s event, (which you can find here) I am writing one about this year’s event! As I mentioned in the other blogpost, it is important to share experiences and reflect on events. After all, “I aspire to inspire others by sharing my experiences”. So, if you are curious about who were speakers at the African Business Day 2017, keep on reading! Trust me, you’d want to know!
