Also in the issue, more Africans in the diaspora share stories of hard-earned dollars and success and how they are creating wealth through meaningful entrepreneurship. And, more news features from home. Will Africa be a desert by 2050 – how are we prepared for drought? Then, we talk about a new treatment for malaria that nukes the problem at source. Also, can hypnotherapy beat stress and heal victims of trauma and abuse? All this and more, in the October/November issue of FORBES WOMAN AFRICA.
