Narrating the story of the "BRAIN GAIN" movement back to Africa". The African Expatriate is a refreshing perspective on what it feels like to live and work in Africa. Our goal is to share exciting stories on the positive changes which "Returnees", and African Expatriates are creating on the Continent, and in doing so, encourage African professionals in the Diaspora to consider the prospect of returning home to live and work
