It was an honor to have been named a Grand Prize Winner for The Anzisha Prize during the 2024 awards gala in Johannesburg.🥇❤️ Standing on that stage, I couldn't help but think back to the countless times I was told, "Nah, you’re not an engineer, that won’t work." From trying to convince my parents that skipping long vacations to volunteer in rural communities was a good idea, to pitching my startup AkoFresh ™️ to anyone who’d listen, it’s been quite the ride! I have over the years watched farmers struggle to keep crops alive, youth hustling to make ends meet, and the looming shadow of climate change making things tougher. It would’ve been easy to give up, but I’ve always believed that we can rewrite our own stories. Winning the Anzisha Prize isn’t just a shiny trophy to put on my shelf (though it does look good up there😂). It’s proof that with persistence, support, and resilience, we can take on the big problems and actually make a dent. Sincere gratitude to everyone who’s been on this journey with me; my amazing team, mentors, advisory board, and The Anzisha Prize team for investing in very young entrepreneurs like myself. I’d like to also congratulate all the 30 Anzisha Prize fellows of 2022 for their inspiring efforts in making our continent a better place. Let’s keep shaking things up and proving that very young African entrepreneurs are a force to be reckoned with. #AnzishaPrize #award #AkoFresh #impact #prize #winner #entrepreneur
