New e-book celebrates Lionesses of Africa through the power of images

October 4, 2015 Melanie Hawken

They say that a picture says a thousand words, and we couldn't agree more. In the world of Lionesses of Africa, we celebrate women's entrepreneurship in all its forms on the continent, and we love the powerful images that conjure up the spirit of women-owned businesses and the products and services they create. These images give us an insight into the unique creativity that exists here in Africa and that is capturing the imagination of the world. 

 

So, this month sees the launch of a new e-book that showcases each of the women entrepreneurs and the inspirational businesses and products they are creating, as featured each day in our Good Morning Lionesses newsletter as our popular Image of the Day.  Each page in the book features a striking image that celebrates the work, or a moment in the life of, a talented African woman entrepreneur. 

This new e-book is the first of what will be a regular monthly e-publication which captures all our best Images of the Day from the previous month. Look out for it on all the Lionesses of Africa social media platforms and on the website www.lionessesofafrica.com
