“Si ka badu, ka ta biradu” 🇨🇻— If you don’t go, you don’t return. {Eugénio Tavares}
= If you don’t go, you don’t return. =
This is a Cape Verdean proverb that touches my heart — and my mission — profoundly.
It speaks to us the Diaspora, to our courage of leaving, the responsibility of learning, and the power of returning with purpose.
And it was beautifully chosen for the mission of the Summit : Soft Landing and Brain Gain of the CAPE VERDEAN DIASPORA into the Cape Verdean business landscape on 16-18 of March 2026
RABIDA : A call to action and ECOSYSTEM BUIDLING — par excellence ✨✨💫🌱🙏🏽
