All-Star Athletes Raise the Technology, Resources and Impact Game to Dominant Returns for Family Office Investors

Come listen, learn and be inspired by how Dikembe is using his global brand and reach into The DRC, the continent of Africa and the world, to invest in Mining resources that power electric cars, closing the racial wealth gap via AI and Quantum Computing.
