On Reconnecting and Investing in the African Continent (w/ Kea Simmons)

On Reconnecting and Investing in the African Continent (w/ Kea Simmons)

In Part 1 of the Motherland Series, I'm joined by Kea Simmons, U.S. military veteran and co-founder of World Views Travel Group. She shares her love for purposeful traveling and investing in the African Continent through her organization, as well as the different ways in which she is able to give back to the communities and supports the local businesses in the various countries she travels to. Kea discusses how discovering her Kenyan ancestry helped fuel her passion for traveling and connecting members of the African diaspora to the Continent and how traveling has changed her perception of the world around her. It is Kea's hope that people get to know Africa for themselves and find ways to successfully integrate into the systems in place.
