 Good evening and welcome back to the first time home by a show. I'm your host, Estie Klaassen. Tonight we chat into an absolutely amazing guest and I'm sure the background behind me looks extremely familiar. Last week we chatted to Papa Boachiyadum about his journey through property investment and tonight we chat to the one and only, Hetty the Entrepreneur. How are you this evening? I'm so good Estie and really excited to be here. Thank you so much for allowing us back into your beautiful home and I introduced you as Hetty the Entrepreneur. So I'd like to know is Hetty and Hetty the Entrepreneur two separate people? Hetty the Entrepreneur is one person. I am an entrepreneur through and through. I love entrepreneurship, particularly African-led businesses. So who is Hetty at the core then? Hetty at the core is a Pan-Africanist and a lover of our beautiful continent, an entrepreneur and I really love to travel and meet new people as well. Right and I know that from your journey, like I said I've seen your social media platforms, and you really, what I love about you and Papa, your vision and your journey that you've been on is, you're so transparent. You're always willing to share and give help and so I want to find out from you because you're obviously a mentor to a few people. Being a mentor, what does that mean for you? You know being a mentor really is walking a journey with our mentees in terms of their businesses. So I work with numerous African-led businesses. Some of them are in the property space, others are in other types of businesses. It's walking a journey, really understanding your mentee's vision, what they want to accomplish with their lives and their businesses and helping them put proper structures in place to achieve their goals. So why African? Why did you, I know we're South African in Africa and but I want to know why you chose that as your main goal because we could have worked anyway, we could have gone to the States to the UK. You chose to stay at home and work, you know, child of the soil. Why here? Absolutely. So my mentorship takes place online, so it's digital and I have a specific passion for African-led businesses because I believe that those are the businesses that are going to transform our continent and also the world's perception of Africa. I believe that we have creative people, innovative businesses that can really trail blaze our economies and take us to the next frontier. So I really want to be able to play my role and my part in transforming our continent but and I also interestingly enough work with quite a number of entrepreneurs around the world. So there's one lady in particular, she's based in Russia but she's from Ghana. So I love that beauty of being in the online space because it opens up the world to you. So COVID-19 did not affect Haiti the entrepreneur? You know, I would honestly really be a miss to say that it didn't. Thank you for watching, subscribe, click the like button. Thank you.
