Hi, Meta,
Happy Holidays. I can help, too. I met last night with the Rev. Eric Annan, a contact from some reporting that I did in Ghana two years ago. He's great. He and his wife, Felicia, direct Sovereign Global Mission based near Accra, Ghana, West Africa.
I also have contact info for a media company in Accra.
Also, I'd love to return to Ghana this summer to help Eric and Feliciai, as well as complete a project I started while there. So if anyone out there has recommendations for funding opportunities, please let me know. And I have tons of photos and some audio. Let me know when you need me to jump in.
Cheers,
Bonnie

Subject: All Things Africa
Colleagues,
I am in the planning stages of a speakers' series proposed for Spring 2012 that will focus on African issues and Africa in the media. I am wondering if anyone has any recommendations for the following topics experts:
* human trafficking
*micro-businesses (on the Continent) and strategic business opportunities between U.S. & Africa
*future of African media -- radio? newspapers? social media sites? new media?
* natural resources and geopolitical implications
* image of Africa in the media -- stereotypes or realism?
I also am interested in any referrals for work by African-born filmmakers for a mini-film festival....
Thanks for chewing on this while you enjoy your Thanksgiving break!
Sincerely,
Meta
