46. Unpacking Africa with Emmanuel Gamor: Entrepreneurship, Tackling Youth Unemployment and Africa’s Future

Dear Diaspora

For today’s episode, I had the pleasure of chatting with Emmanuel Gamor, host of Unpacking Africa - a podcast sharing resources while exploring ecosystems in our communities and figuring out issues pertaining to the African continent.

With over a decade of experience in youth engagement, digital & managerial innovation, entrepreneurship and leadership education on the continent—Emmanuel is a true ecosystem builder.

During the episode, we discuss:

• His experience studying in the US and returning to Ghana after college
• How he created his own opportunities back home and landed roles at Google, YouTube and Impact Hub
• Ghana’s entrepreneurship ecosystem – what’s working and what isn’t
• Decreasing Africa’s youth unemployment rate
• Bridging the gap between the diaspora and the African continent
• What excites him about Africa’s future

“Folks of other races have found so much solace in home that they’ve come here and tried to own parts of Africa that are not even theirs. There’s no other place in the world that’s allowed it happen so blatantly than the African continent.” - Emmanuel Gamor
