Meet Thione Niang: A Voice for a Self-Reliant Africa
Thione Niang’s journey began in Kaolack, Senegal — and took him from working-class roots to the heart of American politics and global development. Today, he’s back on the continent, not just to give back, but to build forward.
Through JeufZone Farms, he’s championing food sovereignty.
Through the Give1Project, he’s nurturing the next generation of African leaders.
Through Akon Lighting Africa, he’s helping bring solar power to underserved communities.
But his message is simple — and urgent:
“Until we are able to feed ourselves, we are not free.”
This isn’t just about agriculture. It’s about liberation.
About dignity. About taking control of Africa’s future — from the ground up.
💬 What does freedom mean to you?

Thank you, Thione, for reminding us that the future of Africa is in our hands. And in our soil.
