Quote - “Afropolitan is daring to be yourself in a rapidly changing
world and not having to ask for permission.”


The Afropolitan Podcast spotlights Afropolitans who aren’t afraid to
step into the unknown and walk in purpose. With this podcast we hope
to empower Africans in the Diaspora to harness their full potential
and contribute to the development of a bold and progressive black
community.


Our guests will share their working formulas, the hard facts about
leaving familiar terrain, embracing the unknown, and staying relevant
afterwards.


This episode features Fadekemi Abiru, Head Of Insights at Stears; a
financial data/intelligence company providing subscription-based
data/insight to professionals/businesses.


Fadekemi holds a BSc in Economics from the University of Bristol and
an MSc in African Development from the London School of Economics. She
previously worked as an economist for the UK government and provided
analysis on various projects.


She is passionate about ensuring that decisions whether in business or
government in Africa are driven by real time data and insights to
drive critical economic developments.


Listen and enjoy as Fadekemi Abiru talks to us about her journey with
Stears and the importance of data-driven insights on Africa.
