Details

One of the first to offer a wide-ranging view of women business leaders on the continent, the video has been released ahead of the upcoming Women Who Build Africa Assembly, which will take place September 5th-6th in Nairobi.

The Assembly will bring together women entrepreneurs and operators, as well as investors and ecosystem players, to discuss how to actively bring more women into the business ecosystem in African markets and enable them to thrive.

What They’re Saying

There’s nothing more powerful than hearing the stories of women that are walking the talk and actively working to build – and support – businesses solving real problems in African markets. I’m excited to share just a few of these stories, and showcase the women behind them, both for the rest of the world to hear and for any women considering taking the leap to walk in their footsteps. We hope to tell even more stories like these in the future,” said Co-founder at WWBA and Head of Marketing at Stitch, Thea Sokolowski.

We are so excited to partner with WWBA on this powerful film showcasing such incredible women builders on the continent,” said Sneha Mehta, Co-founder and CEO at Uncover.

“At Uncover, our aim is to empower women to ‘uncover’ whoever they want to be, confidently. That is so much more than products. It is a movement to inspire women to show up unapologetically. By showcasing more authentic stories, our hope is to show courage, confidence, vulnerability, journeys and the power that really is revolutionary.”


The full video is available on YouTube here and will be screened ahead of the WWBA Assembly. The video was produced by Strange Creature in South Africa.
