When Emil Acolatse founded the nonprofit, Free Inspiration Reaching Everyone (F.I.R.E), the goal at the time was simply to expand upon his passion for helping others. He wanted to help young people discover their passion as they prepared for the future. Nearly a decade on, the nonprofit's focus has expanded to include providing a range of resources for young people in different communities in Ghana, Nigeria, Zambia, Jamaica and Philadelphia where it all began. Emil Acolatse talks to us about the expanded focus and the new initiatives being rolled out to help young entrepreneurs in Africa. And we look back at the golden moments for Africa at the Paris 2024 Olympic Games.
