      • Axcil Jefferies: Really believing that anything is possible

        For Episode 2,  I had the privilege of speaking with Zimbabwean race car driver, Axcil Jefferies.

Through forging his path, I believe he has shifted the narrative of what Africans can be on a global stage.

          • Challenging bias & echo-chambers
