Empowered Young Leader Business Mentorship
I had the pleasure of meeting Dorcas Asige Apoore in an online group for people who wanted to learn to tell their story in a powerful way in order to make a positive impact in the world. I was blown away by her story. The level of hard work and determination she demonstrated in order to rise above extreme poverty and do something positive for her community was not only incredibly inspiring, it was also humbling. There are moments in life when my inherited and unearned privilege stares me in the face and I can't help but shake off my comparably insignificant struggles so I can do more to help others. I became friends with Dorcas and immediately wanted to do all that I could to help her. Over the years I have given her ideas and suggestions for how she could reach a broader audience, and therefore have an even greater impact, through social media. I have mentored her on the types of posts that people are interested in seeing and how to keep her new followers engaged. I've also been honored to read speeches she had prepared and give feedback before she was called to yet another conference to talk on how she is making a big impact in the Upper East region of Ghana. Dorcas has been a Camfed Scholar and an EU Young Leader. She continues to set and achieve high goals for bettering the lives of women and girls in Ghana.
It is my pleasure to continue contributing in this way and offer other young leaders business mentorships. I can accept one mentee on a quarterly basis.
If you know of a young leader who is making an impact in their community, or if you are that young leader, please send me an email introducing yourself and what some of your social media goals and business goals are. I'd love to help if I feel I can be of service.
