Why LoA loves it….
If there is one thing that Africa has in abundance, it’s creative small businesses founded by passionate women entrepreneurs. The challenge for these incredible creatives is to get their unique and beautiful products into new markets and reaching more customers. That means understanding how to build a growth business, how to trade in global markets, how to ensure product quality and consistency of supply so they can attract the attention of customers, retailers and investors alike. Holly Tucker’s new book is a great source of information, advice and inspiration for women entrepreneurs on the African continent who would like to do business in new markets and to learn from other women who are already taking their creative enterprises global. This is a great read for all creative women entrepreneurs who have a vision to take their small businesses to the next level. — Melanie Hawken, founder & ceo of Lionesses of Africa
