Approx read: 2 mins

In this episode we chat to Obed, a former refugee turned activist and entrepreneur

Obed is a great advocate for the stunning landscapes and wildlife found in DRC. ‘There is a very big gap between being a refugee and an entrepreneur, so that means passing through the challenges and trying to continue to be resilient. That means I taught myself, I trained myself. So from that I have the full understanding of the region.’
