Diaspora Investors: Lessons from $3.2M Raised for Nuru Marrakesh.

A few days ago, we asked our community: If you had $10,000 to invest in Africa, which asset would you choose? More than half chose Real estate!

That’s why our recent conversation with Chidi Ashley was such an important one to have!

From building Luxe Tribes into one of the biggest African travel communities to now developing Nuru Marrakesh, a luxury hotel in Morocco backed by $3.2M in committed capital. Chidi’s journey is proof of what’s possible when the diaspora builds, invests and owns.

In case you missed it (or want to rewatch), here’s the full recording

Bring a notebook, you’ll walk away with practical strategies for:

• Investing in African real estate from the diaspora.

• Avoiding fraud, unfinished projects and shady developers.

• Co-investing with others to unlock bigger opportunities.

• Understanding why now is the time to build real assets in Africa.

And don’t just watch, share the video with a friend or colleague who needs to hear this and drop your thoughts in the comments. We’d love to hear your thoughts.
