In the heart of every woman entrepreneur lies a story — of courage, grit, ambition, and sometimes, quiet isolation. But what if that journey didn’t have to be walked alone?
That’s the driving force behind “She is Business”, a mentorship programme confronting the real challenges female founders face while building businesses across Africa.
Speaking to Techeconomy, Frances Aborigho (@frances_aborigho ) founder of Sh’Emerge, said after a successful first cohort, the program is back — Cohort 2 is here — and it’s calling on every woman with a vision, whether you’re building a tech startup, running a creative venture, or managing a homegrown brand.
💬 Why “She is Business” Matters
From lack of access to funding and mentorship to cultural biases and balancing roles, African women face a unique entrepreneurial terrain.
“The She is Business Cohort 2 is built to equip women with the knowledge, community, and confidence to scale.
“This time, the founder isn’t going it alone. She’s teaming up with experienced professionals and mentors — people who’ve built, stumbled, and succeeded — to guide women through practical business growth strategies, mindset shifts, and collaborative opportunities.
“We’re not just mentoring. We’re walking with you, step by step, as you build your dream,” the Frances Aborigho shared.
