Celebrating our human connections

During this pandemic and its lockdowns which we are experiencing in our different countries, I am sure like me you have been reflecting on how much we miss our human connections. It seems like such a long time since many of us got together in person. For me, the last time I met with my fellow Lionesses was at our Startup Night! Africa London event in January. Since then I have become very aware of how much I miss our community. I miss the opportunity to get together in person for laughter, hugs, news sharing, celebrating, and so much more. Making and maintaining positive human connections are vital to our personal wellbeing and that of our businesses. So in these very different times, we need to improve our ability to communicate and reach out to our fellow Lionesses. We need to get more innovative and harness the power of digital to connect. We need to do the small things, such as reaching out to organize a virtual coffee catch up. We need to check in with our fellow entrepreneurs to see how they are doing in business, and how we can help. And, we need to be there with virtual hugs when things are hard.

Have yourself an inspired entrepreneurial day! — Melanie
