ADN: Media Engagement

Baobab has been working with the African Diaspora Network (ADN) since 2019 to secure media engagements, panelists and partnerships for their flagship event in Silicon Valley, California, The African Diaspora Investment Symposium (ADIS).  

For the 2023 edition of ADIS, Baobab secured two media partnerships with All Africa and The Africa Report, secured media coverage in over ten media platforms and provided on-the-ground support at the event. Coverage was secured for ADIS and ADN in the New York Times, The Guardian Nigeria, Africa News, KAFTAN TV, All Africa, Voice of Africa, The Africa Report, among others.

Baobab has also supported ADN’s Builders of Africa’s Future (BAF)  program to secure media coverage for the BAF awardees with a podcast series spotlighting the different entrepreneurs to a global audience. BAF is a fellowship program awarding mentorship, training and funding, sponsored by the U.S. African Development Foundation, to over 30 African entrepreneurs.  Additionally,  Baobab’s Co-CEO Liz Grossman Kitoyi hosted the BAF Awards Ceremony in 2021.
