Listen "Lost But Not Lazy - The Survival Trap Of The African Youth"
Episode Synopsis
In this episode of Roots and Hustle, we discuss the harsh realities faced by Gambian youth, particularly the high unemployment rates and the societal pressures that lead to a survival mentality. We explore the concept of the 'survival trap,' where young people are stuck in a cycle of short-term thinking and immediate needs, preventing them from building a sustainable future. The conversation highlights the costs of this survival mode, including wasted potential, broken families, and community stagnation. The hosts then outline actionable steps for breaking free from this cycle, emphasizing the importance of mindset shifts, education, technology, financial literacy, and community building. We conclude by encouraging listeners to envision a future beyond mere survival and to take concrete actions towards building a better tomorrow.
