Black Capitalists European tour sparks new dialogue on wealth, ownership, and diasporic power

Black Capitalists' European book tour is bringing together leaders, entrepreneurs, policymakers, and members of the African diaspora in a series of curated gatherings across Amsterdam, Brussels, Paris, and London. The tour was initiated and organised by Nii Dsane, CEO of Q-Advise. At the center of the tour is Dr Rachel Laryea, author of *Black Capitalists: A Blueprint for What Is Possible*.

The tour opened in Amsterdam with a focused session for women entrepreneurs, organised in collaboration with Zwarte Vrouwen voor Technologie and Ondernemerswinkel Amsterdam. Speakers, including Siomara de Getrouwe-Spalburg and Marianne Dorder-Servet, emphasized that entrepreneurship must move beyond survival toward structured, scalable growth. In Brussels, the conversation evolved with participation from members of the Ghanaian diplomatic community, alongside entrepreneurs and diaspora professionals. In Paris, Dr Rachel Laryea's work was acknowledged by the Ghanaian Community in France Council and the Global Diaspora Council, under the leadership of Osei-Mensah Michael.
