Sean Barlow Heading to Washington D.C. for U.S. Africa Leaders Summit

<p>We're very excited about the upcoming <strong>U.S. Africa Leaders Summit </strong>later this month in Washington D.C. to be hosted by President Joe Biden and attended by several African heads of state. You can read the interview by our colleague, <a href="https://allafrica.com/stories/202211220001.html"><strong>Reed Kramer of allAfrica.com, </strong>who talked to </a><strong><a href="https://allafrica.com/stories/202211220001.html">Dana Banks</a>,</strong> the White House senior advisor for the U.S. Africa Leaders Summit. Afropop's <strong>Sean Barlow</strong> has been granted a hard-to-get Secret Service approved media accreditation, and he'll be at the summit all next week focusing on opportunities and issues surrounding the booming <strong>creative industries in Africa-</strong>-not just the global Afrobeats explosion but music festivals in Africa, music videos, television, film, visual arts, fashion, gaming, culinary arts and literature. Stay tuned! </p>
