This week on Let’s Have Drinks, I’m having drinks with Aisha Hussaini and Seun Afolayan-Imthiyaz, the women behind Stake Summit, for a conversation about ambition, moving abroad and what happens when the life you once prayed for becomes your normal life.
We talk about the ambition so many Africans arrive in the UK with, whether comfort changes that ambition and what it means to keep dreaming when your basic needs are met and life is, for the most part, good.
We also get into the uncertainty of building a life abroad, immigration, money, investing, relationships, community and whether you can want more for yourself without becoming ungrateful for everything you already have.
And of course, we talk about why Aisha and Seun created Stake Summit, the conversations they want Africans in the diaspora to have and why sometimes you need someone to remind you that the first dream coming true doesn’t mean you stop dreaming.
