 I'm so sorry that I couldn't meet you on time. Yeah, no problem. I'm always going back to Ghana, but I still have to do this. Yeah, for sure. Tell me where you live and where you come from. So my name is Jamal Akins. I'm from East Baltimore, Maryland. United States, East Coast. Representing the DMV. And I'm here in Zambia. Been living in Zambia since 2006. Been on the continent a little bit before then. We came over January 2005. So this has been home for me for nearly 15 years. Spent most of the year in Zambia. What brought you to the continent? Originally it was supposed to be taken one year off from pursuing my basketball career and just deciding to help some youth. And I got to South Africa many years ago. And just being in South Africa and the way I was treated, the way I was received, it changed my life. It gave me an opportunity to just look at things differently. I fell in love with South Africa, but ultimately I fell in love with the continent. And every country I went to, it grew and grew and grew. So many now, maybe up to I think 14, but nothing has been like Zambia. You said you fell in love with the continent. What was your expectations before coming? Well, my mom's a teacher and I don't think I'm super intelligent, but I studied a lot in school. So I knew a lot about the continent. I even had some African, very good friends. One of my best friends in college, Simon Boales from Zambia. And he was one of the greatest guys and an awesome soccer player. And Farai, a Zimbabwean guy who was in one of my media classes. So I had good images and good thoughts, but I just didn't know that I didn't know. And I got to Durban, which was my first city. And it was like living in Tampa, Florida, where I was moving from. The weather was great. The water was there. Things were pretty cool. And I know some people see South Africa as a dangerous place and I guess it can be, but like I said, I'm from East Baltimore. So that wasn't a problem at all. What exactly are you doing in Zambia right now? The two things I'm doing is running and operating the Basketball Academy of Excellence, which is a skills development program. I help basketball players hone their skills, become better athletes, and get them an opportunity to get to university, both in the U.S. and in Asia. I've been able to send now nine Zambian students on to greater opportunities through the work we do at the Basketball Academy of Excellence. We recently just sent Lastin Jamacala in September down to the 4A Sports Academy. And he's doing great. And so we're looking to send the next guy. So that's the Basketball Academy of Excellence. And then my second passion is technology. I own and operate Wired Integration Zambia and we design audio and video systems, lighting, biometric entry, control, actuated systems. I have a team of young men who work with me regularly and we just try and go and help our clients. Do you think that your fellow African-Americans should invest in Africa? Yes, I do believe as African-Americans it is very important that we take time to invest, especially here in Africa. I would say come to Zambia, but it doesn't have to be Zambia. Find a country that you can find a passion point. Find a country that you can connect to and make sure you bring not only your finances, but your time and your education and your experience, because that's the real investment, being able to give people the knowledge that we were able to get. That's important and I believe it's paramount to become a world citizen. We have to come back and give back what we got, although it wasn't our choice, but it is our privilege. So we must come back and get something done. The fun I went to your fellow African-Americans who don't feel like Africa is home. I can't really tell you that it is home, but I can tell you that we are here and when you get here to see us, you'll find out that it is home. Please come. We're here in Zambia. We're in multiple countries. He'll have our contacts. You can find me online. Google my name, Jamal K. Atkins, Google Basketball Academy of Excellence. Do whatever it takes, but find the information yourself. Don't trust somebody else's word to say what does and does not happen on the continent of Africa, because I promise you, it is not 100% true. Thank you so much. Appreciate it, brother. Thanks for your time.
