If you’ve never been to Africa, you can’t imagine the opportunities and challenges its people face on their way to success. Often, they leave their homes and roam the world to expand their horizons. From the pages of this book, you will draw life lessons that can transform your own life.

The author, Debbie Peters, is a Zimbabwean woman who has traveled the world, studied for advanced degrees in London and Los Angeles. She has also succeeded in several entrepreneurial careers. She is part of the modern African migration to the Diaspora.

A Modern African Nomad tells the story of:

• How an African successfully navigated her way to Europe and later to the US through study.

• Building a successful career and life in the US for a decade, networking in the Diaspora. 

• Surviving and thriving as a Black woman, dating and single life in New York City,

• Long distance job-hunting, being headhunted and making the transition back to Africa 

•The challenge of repatriation and re-integrating back into African society after 10 years away.

• Navigating different corporate cultures in Africa and building a professional network in Africa.

• Becoming an expatriate in Nigeria and dealing with life in a challenging environment.

• Learning to operate in different African countries and the differences between them.

• Starting over again by going back home to Zimbabwe after 16 years away, reverse culture shock.

• Maintaining relationships a global nomad with friends and family scattered all over the world.

• Staying current with the international business trends as an African professional.

• Entrepreneurial ventures in Africa under difficult economic conditions.

• Her love of travel and becoming a world citizen who is at home anywhere 

Debbie Peters has always loved education and also loves her beautiful homeland. Although she had to leave Africa twice for advanced degrees, she always came back home to Zimbabwe.

Her first adventure abroad was to earn her Master’s degree in pharmacology, at the prestigious King’s College in London, but she came straight back as soon as she finished.

In 1998, she went to the US for an MBA, but by the time she finished in 2000, she was advised not to return because the Zimbabwean economy was experiencing the highest hyperinflation in history. It was 10 years before she found a promising job in South Africa, but another six years to work her way back to Zimbabwe. Going back home is important to Africans in the Diaspora, but the challenge is how to do it. Every African country is different and in some ways Africans are less familiar other African countries than they are with countries abroad.

Debbie Peters has always enjoyed blogging. She was one of the earliest bloggers in the US in 2003, and her African Gist blog was very popular as her readers followed her adventures in Nigeria. Travelling from and within Africa is often difficult, but Debbie chronicles the challenges of African travel with interesting detail and humor.

As a serial entrepreneur, Debbie is facing the challenge of trying to start a modern African business while working from Zimbabwe where the economy is again falling into decline. Her network extends all over the globe, and her life is no longer just restricted to Zimbabwe. She is a keen social media practitioner with a presence on Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Instagram and credits social media with helping her find her two brothers.

This exciting life story is not only for Africans. As Debbie explores what is needed for a black woman to survive and thrive in diverse cultures, you will also discover ways you can surmount the challenges you face in a highly competitive global economy. Wherever you call home, you may need to expand your vision beyond traditional borders and build a life many never consider possible. You can learn important principles from Debbie’s struggles and successes.
