#VillageDiariesAmsterdam Part 2: Real Talk feat. Augustina Austin, Babusi Nyoni, Danai Musandu & Tania Habimana

On Tuesday, June 5th, 2018 the international African Tech Roundup LIVE Tour launched with a live event in The Netherlands dubbed #VillageDiariesAmsterdam.

For the second (and final part) of the evening’s programme, Musa Kalenga and I were joined by a stellar lineup of African tech and innovation ecosystem insiders who have past and present links to Amsterdam. Namely, Tania Habimana (Co-founder and Head of Digital and Strategy: Nonzēro Africa), Babusi Nyoni (UX Designer: Booking.com and UNHCR), Danai Musandu (Investment Associate: Goodwell Investments) and Augustina “MS.ABA” Austin (Artist, Entrepreneur and Host of HiRadio Netherlands’ “Africa on Focus”).

This meandering roundtable conversation features unvarnished views on what it’s like to navigate Amsterdam’s increasingly Africa-focussed impact and innovation scene while African and confronts several awkward truths that are too frequently swept under the rug.
