Journalist and author Dayo Olopade, joined SaharaTv's Tracy Thompson to discuss her recent book: "The Bright Continent: Breaking Rules & Making Change in Modern Africa", which explores the positives of modern African development. Olopade, explained that highlighting the creativity and innovation in Africa had been an idea she thought of often. "I realized that there was an incredible opportunity to tell the story of Africa rising," said Olopade. She set out for travel to 17 different African countries for research and three years later released the book in March of 2014. "This book is about doing more with less. Giving Africa credit for doing more with less is essential," she said.
