About this audiobook

Experience the life story of Magatte Wade - the bold Senegalese entrepreneur and unflinching prosperity activist, determined to shape the destiny of her African homeland.

In this riveting memoir, Wade challenges Africans to redefine their narrative, casting aside imposed inferiority to reclaim their innate brilliance.

This is not a recounting of poverty and politics. It's an indictment of a world that views Africa as nothing more than a colonial chessboard, with charity acting as the block that keeps Africans stuck.

The surprising truth: Africa’s problems are NOT due to colonialism, corruption, bad leadership, poor skills, or a lack of education. It’s something much bigger, and yet it’s only been visible to entrepreneurs... until now.

Join the movement for Africa's rightful place in the 21st-century: fostering innovation, earning prosperity, and growing into an economic powerhouse. Wade's impassioned voice promises nothing less than the dawn of a new era, poised to reshape history, create prosperity and peace, and unleash Africa’s bright future.

Ratings and reviews

The Heart of a Cheetah, read by the author is a truly great listen. Magatte’s voice is energizing and her ideas are fresh. She is who she speaks of and has lived the high stakes. Anyone who loves Africa and grieves its longtime, unnecessary restriction will find their chests expanding, their very fingertips tingling with hope! That was my experience.

Amazing story & world-changing solution. After reading this book, it's never been more obvious to me that the solution to African poverty is NOT more charity, but better business laws that allow entrepreneurship and innovation to flourish. THANK YOU Magatte, you've done the world a huge service with this work!

She is very insightful. Excellent book!
