Diplomacy, Dadhood, and Digital Africa

In this episode of The Global Signal, we’re joined by Dr. Corey Holmes, a former U.S. Foreign Affairs Officer, Africa policy expert, and author. Dr. Holmes shares insights from his decade-long career navigating diplomacy, international relations, and government service, including his time as Acting Director for the Africa Subcommittee at the U.S. House Committee on Foreign Affairs.

We explore the personal and professional lessons that inspired his book "Golf, Cigars, & Scotch: Balancing Fatherhood, Friendship, and Fine-Living," diving into practical strategies for integrating personal passions with parenting and mentorship. Dr. Holmes also discusses his work with AfroCom, a groundbreaking digital ecosystem connecting Africa and its diaspora, and how platforms like these are reshaping economic, cultural, and social collaboration across the continent.
