Each year Africa Agenda organizes an event to promote awareness about U.S. – Africa relations, the local African community, and positive developments across the African continent.
As we have for the last several years, we will facilitate nourishing dinner table conservations with leaders from media, academia, business, and non-profits who are already making a difference.
