Who is Dambisa Moyo?

This chick with more than a passing resemblance to Michelle Williams of Destiny’s Child and Venus Williams is in the New York Times talking major trash about American celebrities who stretch their faces on big screens to wail for Africa. She’s from Zambia with degrees from Harvard and Oxford, And she may have a point.
In her new book, “Dead Aid,” Moyo says helping Africa through telethons and jam sessions is surface thin and actually hurts the nation more than anything.
“Forty years ago, China was poorer than many African countries,” Moyo told the Times. “Yes, they have money today, but where did that money come from? They built that, they worked very hard to create a situation where they are not dependent on aid.”
