What I learned “Ringing the Bells”

—And why financial access matters for us all:

Curious how financial inclusion and diaspora investing shape markets from Nairobi to New York? These are the lessons anyone building or bridging capital markets should know:

🔑 Innovation meets us where we are.

M-Akiba put government bonds in the hands of everyday Kenyans via mobile phones—democratizing investing for millions. (Nathamini marafiki zangu jijini Nairobi.) Appreciate my friends in Nairobi.

🔑 Visibility is more than ceremony.

Ringing the bell—at NASDAQ or the Nairobi Securities Exchange—signals open doors to wealth creation, not just a symbolic tradition. Treasured moment.

🔑 Multilingual financial education is the bridge.

Without financial capability, opportunity isn’t opportunity at all. Financial education turns access into life cycle security. For all.

Wherever you are in the global African diaspora, these truths matter:

Capital markets are for everyone—if we design and educate for inclusion.

That’s the mission I bring daily to Wekeza and WorldofMoney.
