In the Battle Between the Rock and the Stream the stream always wins, Through Persistence!


There is a tide in the affairs of men,
Which, taken at the flood, leads on to fortune;
Omitted, all the voyage of their life
Is bound in shallows, and in miseries:
On such a full sea are we now afloat;
And we must take the current when it serves,
Or lose our ventures.
William Shakespeare (1564-1616)

Africalink Newsletter Journey
Africalink Newsletter: Bridging Continents in the 1990s
In the pre-digital world of the 1990s, creating and sustaining a publication was an uphill battle, requiring
grit, ambition, and an indomitable entrepreneurial spirit. Muhammad Nassor-Bey, the North
Philadelphia visionary behind Africalink, embodied these qualities in his quest to establish a vital
connection between Africa, the African Diaspora, and the world. His monthly import-export newsletter
was a pioneering endeavor, born from a profound belief in Africa’s untapped potential and the necessity
of providing practical resources to those interested in the continent’s growing business opportunities.
The Origins of Africalink
The seed for Africalink was planted during a 1988 conversation between Nassor-Bey and Earl Graves, the
legendary founder of Black Enterprise. Graves encouraged Nassor-Bey to strike out on his own, either by
acquiring or launching a publication. This advice stayed with him until a fateful encounter with
representatives from Benin in 1994 sparked his decision to create Africalink. Recognizing Africa’s
marginalization in the Western press, Nassor-Bey envisioned a publication that highlighted not only the
continent’s challenges but also its business potential and rapid economic development.
With just $100 to his name and access to computers at The Real News and The Business Review offices,
Nassor-Bey began crafting his newsletter. The first edition, launched in August 1994, was a modest eight
pages, featuring classified listings, trade leads, event information, and editorial content aimed at
demystifying Africa’s economic landscape.
Challenges in the Publishing Landscape
The road to Africalink’s success was fraught with obstacles. Operating on a shoestring budget, Nassor-
Bey’s challenges ranged from losing his home computer to juggling part-time insurance work to support
his family. Yet, he remained steadfast in his mission, leveraging bartering agreements to keep the
publication afloat and growing its readership base through word of mouth and early internet advertising
.
By its first anniversary, Africalink had garnered 300 subscribers, with 40% hailing from Africa. The
newsletter had also expanded its content to include currency exchange rates, business profiles, and
trade leads for products as diverse as semi-precious stones, automobiles, and candy-wrapping
machines. It became an indispensable tool for small businesses and entrepreneurs looking to enter the
African market, offering practical advice and connections in an era when such resources were scarce.
Western Perceptions of Africa: Then and Now
Nassor-Bey’s work highlighted a persistent issue: Western media’s portrayal of Africa as a continent
plagued by war, famine, and disease. This skewed narrative overshadowed Africa’s burgeoning
economic opportunities and contributed to a lack of engagement from African-Americans in the global
trade arena. Nassor-Bey sought to counter this narrative, emphasizing Africa’s explosive business growth
and the need for African-Americans to play a more significant role in its economic
transformation.
Today, Africa’s image is evolving, with a growing recognition of its potential as a hub for innovation,
trade, and investment. Yet, many of the challenges Nassor-Bey sought to address—such as the need for
stronger connections between Africa and the Diaspora—remain relevant. His efforts were a precursor to
modern initiatives aimed at fostering collaboration and mutual growth between African nations and
their global partners.
What Could Have Been
Despite its promise, Africalink ultimately ceased publication after seven years due to insufficient
readership. Yet, the impact of Nassor-Bey’s vision cannot be overstated. Had Africalink gained more
traction, it might have played a pivotal role in reshaping perceptions of Africa, fostering deeper
economic ties, and inspiring a new generation of African-American entrepreneurs to embrace
international trade.
A Legacy of Ambition and Entrepreneurship
Nassor-Bey’s story is one of resilience and determination. His work demonstrated the power of one
individual to create meaningful connections in a fragmented world. At a time when access to
information about Africa was limited, Africalink served as a lifeline, providing critical insights and
opportunities to its readers.
In an era dominated by digital media and global connectivity, Nassor-Bey’s journey offers valuable
lessons about the importance of representation, the challenges of entrepreneurship, and the enduring
need for platforms that bridge continents and communities. Africalink was more than a newsletter; it
was a testament to the entrepreneurial spirit and a bold vision for a more connected world.
