The Bold New Normal: Creating The Africa Where Everyone Prospers

by Lucy Quist

Have you ever wondered what it will take to transform each African country into a prosperous nation where each citizen has a real opportunity to thrive? Africa’s narrative has been shaped by a vision of the future that remains bleak. A vision that says a little more is okay for the African. It is time to challenge and change our paradigm of what great outcomes look like for an African country. It is time for The Bold New Normal of an Africa where citizens of each country genuinely have the opportunity to prosper. The formula for sustainable prosperity has been tried and tested world over. Why then do we continue to hope that a different method, that has thus far failed the continent, will create sustainable prosperity? The Bold New Normal is a timely publication that coincides with the 400th anniversary of the start of the year of return. 400 years since the unraveling of Africa began, it is time to piece her back together and focus forward. It is surely the time for The Bold New Normal !

I appreciate the perspective of the author. She is an incredible positive influence and example for young professionals (especially young Africans) who are looking for inspiration in their careers and service. The book itself only got to the surface of the mindset needed to promote a more prosperous Africa, but it did not go into deeper reflections on the practical applications of these ideas. So if you want a general encouragement for how to take hold of life and improve your circumstances and the circumstances of those around you, enjoy the read. Just be prepared for general concepts rather than specific solution oriented ideas.

This book creates a new path for how African businesses, politicians, and people should tackle the world. It gives practical ways in which Africans should uplift each other and attempt to leave their lives. Its proposes bold ideas one I ascribe to entirely but there is a lot of soul searching that needs to happen.

Impressive work. The Bold New Normal discusses ways in which Africans can engage as productive citizens, change the narrative and improve the world's perception of the continent.
