Ashley In Afrika

Hi, I'm Ashley Cleveland.

For over six years, I've been building a life and a career on the African continent, first in Tanzania, now based in South Africa. That work has included advising investors, structuring cross-border strategy, and understanding these markets from the inside, not from a headline.

This channel is where I share what that actually looks like. Real market insight, real strategy, and the real story of building here, without the highlight reel version.

If you're serious about understanding what's happening across Africa's fastest-growing economies, or considering your own path here, you're in the right place.

Aliko Dangote just opened Africa's largest-ever IPO, and it's already being called the people's IPO.

Africa's richest man opened up real ownership to his oil refinery to everyday investors. Shares are priced low enough that ordinary Nigerians and international investors alike can actually participate, with entry starting around $4 and the total raise targeting $2.1 billion.

We are watching real market maturity in real time. A continent that's been historically undervalued and overlooked is now producing headline-making moments like this one, and most people outside of Africa have no idea it's even happening.

If you've been waiting for a sign that this continent is worth paying attention to, this is it. Comment ‘READY’ and we'll send you the guide to help you understand how to actually get positioned in moments like this one.

Satrix cross listed three of their JSE ETFs onto the Botswana Stock Exchange. Two of the continent's biggest markets, connected, just like that.

This is what I mean when I say Africa is the future, you can see it in the way its own markets are starting to connect to each other instead of waiting for the rest of the world to notice.

My private community of Africa Investors are already in these conversations, seeing these opportunities before they hit anybody's feed.

If you're serious about investing here, comment BANK and I’ll send you the guide. 🌍

Today is my birthday 🌹.
My sixth in Africa.

We were allowed into our home to retrieve what we could and then rushed out because the aftermath of it all was too toxic to remain inside for more than a twenty minutes.

I’ve learned a few lessons in this experience. To surrender and release the illusion of control.

Thank you to all those who contributed words, funds, and support in whatever way you could. You are carrying us through this season, and I don’t have the words to express how deeply grateful we are. We won’t forget your kindness.

We’re still in the early stages of rebuilding, and there is a long road ahead. If you’ve been thinking about supporting us but haven’t yet, your contribution would make a meaningful difference. Every gift, no matter the size, helps us replace what was lost and begin again.

Thank you ❤️:

Many of you have reached out asking how you can help after the fire. Thank you. I don’t have all the answers yet, but I am deeply grateful for every message, prayer, and offer of support.

The fire destroyed our building, and my girls and I have been displaced.

We are grateful to have secured temporary housing and now we are focused on replacing the essentials we’ve lost.

If you’d like to support us, here are the most helpful ways:

• Financial support toward immediate essentials
• Gift cards for groceries, clothing, or household items.
• Children’s clothing and essentials for Penelope—*Saturday was her 8th Birthday*🎉
• ⁠Laptop and phone for my teenager Zhaeniya
• Introductions to furnished accommodations in Cape Town
• Your prayers and encouragement as we navigate the coming weeks.

I’ll share additional needs as we learn more.

Thank you for surrounding me and our family with so much kindness during an incredibly difficult time. We don’t take it for granted. ❤️

Meet Paul Ngwilimi.

He has spent his career studying the forces that actually shape East Africa's financial and investment landscape and has become one of the sharpest voices in East African capital markets.

At Travel Move Do Business Tanzania, Paul will pull back the curtain on what is really happening inside Tanzania's capital markets. He will share how to separate momentum from meaningful growth, where fundamentals actually justify valuation, and how diaspora investors can position themselves in listed companies with confidence.

Real analysis. Real discipline. Real clarity on what serious investing in East Africa actually looks like.

If you have ever wanted to approach African markets not as a bet, but as a strategic long-term position, this is a session you cannot afford to miss.

July 18-19, join us online.

Comment ‘READY’ for the ticket link. 📊

To my YouTube family,

I don't want the people who have actually been watching this journey with me to be the ones who miss what's about to happen.

Early-bird pricing for the Travel Move Do Business Tanzania Online Conference ends in just a few hours. General is currently $97 and VIP is $197. Once this window closes, prices jump to $147 and $297. Same room. Same speakers. Same two days. Just more money.

Some of you have been here since I had 100 subscribers. Some of you have watched every video I've ever posted. Some of you have emailed me privately about your own dreams of moving to Tanzania, and I've read every single one whether I've been able to reply or not.

If any part of you has been quietly wondering whether Tanzania is for you, I'm asking you not to just watch this time. Come sit in the room with me on July 18 and 19. I'll be there and so will the people I trust most on the ground. And you'll leave with more clarity than any video I could ever post here has been able to give you.

This continent has a way of asking you real questions.

Not the ones you can answer in a vlog. The ones that only start showing up once you have signed the lease, opened the bank account, enrolled the kids, and realized nobody is coming to translate the moment for you.

Most people arrive here in love with the picture. That is not the same as being ready for the ecosystem underneath it.

I say all of this as someone who chose Tanzania anyway. And still chooses it, every single day. What made the difference for me was not how much I wanted it. It was how much I understood before I moved.

If you are anywhere on this path, I want you to arrive with information and not just excitement. That is what we are building the room around July 18-19.

Comment “TZ” and we’ll send you the link to grab your ticket.🤍

If you've been circling Tanzania for a while now quietly wondering where you'd even begin, I made this for you.

This is the playbook I wish someone had handed me before I moved. The legal path. The financial runway. The housing plan. The people you need in your corner before you ever land.

I didn't figure it out neatly. I lost money, wasted time, and had to build from the ground up while everyone around me quietly wondered if I had lost it.

You don't have to do it the way I did.

Every step in here is one my clients are actually using right now to make this move real. None of it is theory. None of it is guessing.

And on July 18-19 I'm bringing all of it into one room. Fully online. Two days with the people already living this.

Comment "MOVE" and I'll send you the details.

🤍
