It’s a wonderful morning here in Windhoek, Namibia where Lionesses of Africa will be hosting the first Lioness Lean In event in the country for women entrepreneurs. When we arrived in the city yesterday, and we were chatting to various women business owners and corporate executives, one thing became clear. There are some world-class women-owned businesses and brands here in Namibia, but not enough people know about them, even when they are based in the same city. It reminded me again of why we launched Lionesses of Africa exactly four years ago. We saw a need to showcase Africa’s inspirational women entrepreneurs to the world, to connect them to one another in their own countries and across the continent, and to help them to grow their businesses. So in that spirit, all this month on Lionesses of Africa we will be introducing you to some of the country’s most interesting women entrepreneurs, their businesses and the products and services they create. We hope it will encourage you all to take a closer look at Namibia.
Have yourself an inspired entrepreneurial day! - Melanie
