It's funny, there's all these slogans like 'you're never too old to keep dreaming.' You know it's funny how in the basketball world, and in the business world where you're just supposed to stop. In the sports world, I feel like at 35 you're just supposed to stop. If you do, that's great.

Girls are breaking barriers and boundaries every day in everything from sports and science to business and the creative arts.

Africa Rising is as much about improving standards of governance as it is about an increasingly confident youths and civil society. It is also about businessmen and women who are stepping beyond national borders and going global.

If black people use their resources properly, they can become as competitive as any group in society - take control of our neighborhoods, our businesses, our schools, including our teachers.

As an entrepreneur, I've come across countless articles and proudly telling me that I should accept failure, smile, and keep my head up. In other words, I've been told to stay positive.
