I certainly want to leave the world a better place. I wanna leave my mark. Do something great with my life...Number one on my list is to inspire
women to be the best they can absolutely be no matter where they come from, their background and education.
Checkout ma girl B....saying all this in a song. I will be updating with african/black women doing great things around the world, for now,
the first is Beyonce!

second on the list is a friend that I deeply admire (yea, she is a senior from college days and HBS African conferences, and I am absolutely proud of her).
The beautiful and unashamedly fabulous Saran Kaba Jones, the 29yr old Liberian believes inadequate or lack of access to clean water or any water at all is
one of the key reasons that african remains underdeveloped. She also believes girls and women are the backbone of any society and for this reason,
women should be encouraged to attain greater heights. when a woman is educated, her kids are more likely to do better at school and lead better lives...
for the reason, Saran founded the organisation FACEafrica... www.faceafrica.org

The business savvy Lola Remi is Co-Founder of www.agnesandlola.com
a globally popular online shop based in the UK.

Sweetheart, you're asking a very intelligent question but I'm afraid you won't get a lot of answers here b'cos a lot of people lack the substance to grasp and provide one. Goodluck to you making the world a better place.

Loving this post. I love and follow all of these women. Love that they all represent different paths in careers. Communications and PR (Adiat) is definitely an avenue I'd love to explore in both professional and entrepreneurial capacities. Philanthropy (Saran) is good for the soul and world (alway a + to lead with the heart), and of course fashion / retail (Lola) is dear to my heart - especially as a woman. Love what she is doing. Exploring ways of building capacity and impact via fashion/ retail is also something that peaks my interest. I don't want to perpetuate waste and over glamorize fashion , nor have any interest in the "hype" around it. I guess I'd have to figure out how to use fashion to have impact.

I hope you post more of these types of questions and posts. In 2017 we need more though-provoking questions/posts to create impact.
