Beyond Boundaries: Women Entrepreneurs Impact on Economy, Innovation and Society

Thinking Reimagined® with Dr. Ama

We live in a world where opportunities are boundless and transformative force has emerged, transcending the boundaries of tradition and gender stereotypes. Africa continues to play catch up at a time when achieving gender parity has the potential to boost GDP across the continent by more than $250 billion by 2025. As visionary women globally shatter glass ceilings, rewrite the rules, and, in doing so, catalyze profound changes across economies, innovation hubs, and the very fabric of society, the lack of funding, role models, and support networks limit women's economic participation in entrepreneurship across Nigeria and beyond. This episode of the Thinking Reimagined Podcast® welcomes Helene Martin Gee (Founder & President, Savvitas UK) and Ngozi Oyewole (President, Commonwealth Business Women Africa) Dr. Ama is also reunited on this episode with Peter Armand Boyo (Co-Producer, Director, Actor, Filmmaker & Brand Ambassador) and Nifemi Oguntoye (Co-host). In this riveting discussion, panelists recommend mentorship, education, skills development, embracing technology and intentional policies and actions by governments, businesses and society to drive inclusion and support female-led businesses.
