Forbes Africa recently did a great profile piece on Chid Liberty, the co-founder of Liberty & Justice,  Africa’s first fair-trade certified garment factory in Liberia (recently expanding to Ghana).

Chid represents the new face of African entrepreneurship that is taking an active role to not only make a social impact, but also create sustainable industry on the continent.
