‘Don't Rush to Start Your Own Thing'
Cosmopolitan - South Africa
|August 2018
Master’s graduate Afua Osei, 31, is the co-founder of She Leads Africa – a media platform that helps young African women find success in their career by providing digital content, live experiences and learning opportunities

I’m passionate about helping women make money. While money isn’t everything, it can definitely give women the power to pursue their education, live in a safe environment and decide their future. I want to teach young women that there’s nothing wrong with making lots of money. Wealth can be a tool for good. By sharing opportunities for wealth generation, we can make an impact in our communities.
Business ideas should be a culmination of your experience. When I was in business school, I had incredible support when it came to landing a good job. There were career coaches, CV reviews and mock networking sessions to ensure we were prepared to ace the interview and succeed in the workplace. When I first visited Lagos in 2012, I realised very few young women had access to that level of career advice and support.
