An Atlantic bridge forged in action: Aisha Maina and surging Africa-CARICOM partnership
The narrative connecting Africa and the Caribbean has fundamentally shifted, evolving from a shared history of trauma to a present-day blueprint for South-South economic and cultural cooperation. While individual efforts are vital, the traction the entire Caribbean Community (CARICOM) has received from Africa after the Aquarian Consult Afri-Caribbean Investment Summit (AACIS’25) demonstrates a powerful, institutional commitment to this transatlantic bridge. At the forefront of this private sector-led momentum is Aisha Maina, whose work acts as a practical complement to high-level diplomatic advancements.
