Magatte Wade is a Senegalese entrepreneur who was raised in France. She gained initial fame for a TEDTalk she made in 2017 about what she argues is an excessive regulatory environment in Africa, which forces young Africans to emigrate for economic reasons.[1] Wade has been known since at least 2004 for her business and entrepreneurial ventures, including creating a soft drink company that sells soft drinks in the United States and global markets, using traditional African ingredients such as hibiscus.[2]
