Mentorship
Working with the next generation of African scholars.
I mentor early-career researchers, graduate students, and applied practitioners working at the intersection of scholarship and African enterprise. If you're navigating a methods question, thesis design, or the move from academia into practice, I'd be glad to think it through with you.
