Global African Business Association, led by President and CEO Akindele Akinyemi, is on a mission to foster a pipeline for two-way business opportunities in community development between investors in Africa and those in the United States. Global African Business Association (GABA) accomplishes this by becoming a business education, business support network for African- and African-American-based businesses and investors and linking them with a municipality in Michigan and other cities in the United States and cities on the African continent.
According to Mr. Akinyemi: "We come in as an organization to explain to those stakeholders and say, listen, you need a pipeline to help you get into this country. You need to understand the visa process. You need to understand investor visas. ...And we help them navigate that process to showcase the opportunities and that your nation can play ball in a city like Inkster or a city like Romulus, Michigan, or Detroit. "

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
