The Africa Creative Market was so much more than I ever expected! Not only were they the perfect hosts, but they showcased incredible talent and a creative community with bursting energy ready to emerge on the world’s stage. And the Nigerian people…. Wow! I’m grateful for the opportunity to attend and can’t wait to come again.
