Celebrating Africa’s young women entrepreneurs

This weekend on Sunday 12 August, the world commemorates International Youth Day, a time when we look at how the youth in our countries are being supported to help them realize their true potential. In Africa, there is a real need to proactively engage our young people, to provide them with the encouragement, recognition and mentoring they need to help them become tomorrow’s game changers on the continent. At Lionesses of Africa, we are passionate about inspiring a new generation of young aspirant women entrepreneurs to fulfill their dreams. Our Young Lioness Lean In events in different cities across the African continent each month create a sense of community, where these young women can come together to network, share ideas, get inspiration from other successful young women entrepreneurs they look up to, and ultimately, gain the confidence to embark on their own entrepreneurial journeys. So today, let’s celebrate all those young women entrepreneurs in Africa who are about to take the leap and turn their business building dreams into reality, and let’s support them with encouragement, advice, mentoring and a sense of belonging to our community.
