We are here to stay; we are here to transform our continent. I believe that empowered women empower other women. Most important, women who have found their voice must Speak Up and Speak Out for women who are yet to find theirs. There is no doubt assisting women to focus and learn about financial literacy and the use of digital technology will undoubtedly create wealth, economic sustainability, whilst fostering social development for now and future. Even at Happy Coffee, one of our brand’s mission is to assist our female farmers and women start their own business, which will position them to support their communities. It is imperative to pay It Forward. I am Princess Adeyinka, I am an African Woman.
