Episode notes
This week we are back in the Motherland, exploring Togo, a country on the West Coast of the Africa. We reason with Farida Nabourema, a brilliant writer and fearless human rights activist. But she didn’t just get inspired to become an activist… this was triggered by horrible events in her country that are still happening even today. I felt an immediate familiarity to her culture and her cause. Giving freedom fighters like Farida the power of Bitcoin is what this is all about.
Fulljoy!
