One of the world’s richest black women, Folorunsho
Alakija, hopes to see a world in which women know their value
and follow their dreams.
And the billionaire businesswoman, who is valued at $1.57 billion by Forbes, has started a non-governmental organisation to help achieve this.
Named
‘Flourish Africa’, it is aimed at female millenials and adults alike to access
knowledge which would help them progress in every aspect of their lives.
According
to Alakija, there is a need for more spaces in the online community where women
can engage in intellectual discourse and uplift, empower, and inspire each
other no matter what age.
‘Many women have the potential to be
great. If we form a community of like-minded individuals who share a common
goal and purpose, we can pull together, make an impact in every community we
find ourselves and ultimately, flourish,’ she said.
She
added, ‘Given
the opportunity, women have the power to change the course of any nation and
together, we can break down the stereotypes that hold us all back, making our
communities much more stronger and greater.
‘Together we can create a world where
every woman understands their true value and have the tools at their disposal
to follow their dreams.’
