Last week, Afropolitan Cities Founder Kweku Amoako had the honor of participating in the World Bank Group’s Africa Day Celebration, joining leaders from across Africa and the global development community to discuss how creative industries can drive jobs, entrepreneurship, and economic growth at scale.

At Afropolitan Cities, we have long championed the belief that culture is not just a source of pride—it is a powerful economic asset. When nurtured and connected to the global African Diaspora, Africa’s music, fashion, film, sports, and creative talent gain access to larger markets, investment, tourism, and opportunities that can accelerate job creation across the continent.

As we work to connect Africa with the world, we remain committed to helping transform culture into opportunity and strengthening the bridges that link the continent with its global Diaspora.

What an incredible evening.

Thank you to everyone who joined us for the Diaspora Roundtable 2026 — Africa Day Edition at The Continent DC. From our speakers and partners to every guest who contributed their voice, perspective, and energy, you helped create a meaningful space for dialogue, connection, and collaboration.

The future of Africa’s global story will not be shaped in isolation. It will be shaped through conversations like these, through stronger Diaspora engagement, and through people committed to building bridges across borders.

Grateful for the community. Excited for what comes next.
