In this episode of The Global Signal, we’re joined by Dr. Corey Holmes, a former U.S. Foreign Affairs Officer, Africa policy expert, and author. Dr. Holmes shares insights from his decade-long career navigating diplomacy, international relations, and government service, including his time as Acting Director for the Africa Subcommittee at the U.S. House Committee on Foreign Affairs.
