It's ok to share that you had a major win and finally landed the client of your dreams. It's ok to share that you're overwhelmed and not sure how to move forward. But.... It's even better to share with people who GET IT. It's time to join a community of like minded women who are in the trenches of building and growing their businesses too. Surround yourself with those that get it. Visit https://sparkminds.ai to learn more. #femaleentrepreneur #businesswomen

#GlobalEntrepreneurshipWeek is a campaign that celebrates and empowers entrepreneurs in every country and community around the world – especially young entrepreneurs who face structural barriers. In light of this and in recognition of the huge strides that dozens of young African women have taken as part of the growing Anzisha community, we're excited to spotlight a few of our very own who are changing the world with their businesses and ventures. Today Ayanda Mngomezulu, a law student, entrepreneur and 2024 Anzisha Fellow steps into the spotlight of our #WomenEntreprenuershipSeries. Ayanda’s experience as a young entrepreneur was driven by a commitment to creativity, financial freedom and the ambition to leave a lasting impact for future generations. She grew up learning the value of diverse income sources from her father, who had a hiring business where people rented, tables and chairs from him on the weekends. It is her family's entrepreneurial spirit that inspired her to launch Aesthetic Dosage, her clothing business. Watch to hear what Ayanda has to say about her life as a young business owner. #GlobalEntrepreneurshipWeek #Anzisha #Entrepreneurship #EntrepreurshipEducation #Education #EntrepreneurshipSupport #YoungEntrepreneurs #Leadership #FutureOfWork #JobCreators #CareerPath
