After working 5 years in the corporate environment, I knew that I wanted to find more meaning in my work. I found Connect-123 online and they connected me with a consulting company in Cape Town. This company focuses on bringing inclusive business models into the low-income environments. I found fulfillment in taking my previous work experience and applying it to real-life needs and problems. I fell in love with the City of Cape Town, it truly is beautiful and has so much to offer, with endless sunshine. The creativity of the City and my work propelled me to start a new venture making bags with single mothers from low-income areas and selling them to my friends at home. In Cape Town, I felt like I was able to pursue my passions unbound.
