How do you define success?

Success means serving others and creating a world you want to live in.

Tell us about someone that inspires you.

My Mom. She immigrated to the US so that she could provide a better future for her kids. When I think about all the sacrifices she made I'm encouraged to keeping pushing to achieve my dreams & goals..

What are you most passionate about?

Following my Peace Corps service, I made the ambitious decision to launch Shea Yeleen a social impact company that creates living wage jobs for women-owned shea butter cooperatives in Ghana. I was in my early 20s with very little business experience yet I was inspired by the hardworking women who are the backbone of the global shea butter supply chain. My 10+ year entrepreneurial journey has spanned bootstrapping to landing deals with Whole Foods Markets & MGM Resorts International. I could not imagine doing anything else.

What advice would you like to share with the next generation?

Life is not about achieving things it's about learning how to embrace and accept yourself. This journey is more valuable than any accolade or material possession.

What is a rule you try to live by?

Do what you say! This rule is so important to me because your word is your bond.
