African Business Stories
Welcome back to the Africa Business Stories Podcast - Season 3
Welcome to Season 3 of the African Business Stories Podcast, a show dedicated to curating and sharing the stories of women building businesses in Africa. We took a short break but excited to be back with more stories of business success from across the continent.
I started this show 4 years ago because I saw an under representation of women in the African business narrative. This was unfortunate as we have World Bank data that indicates that Africa has more female entrepreneurs than any other region in the world. Where are these women and why don’t we know their stories? So I set out to find these women and tell their stories. The goal to showcase the African Business woman and inspire others to reach for their dreams and leave legacies for generations to come.
This journey to inspire and elevate the Africa woman is dedicated to the memory of my mother and mentor Ezim.
