August's theme of Women Empowerment is in full swing! Every Friday this month you've experienced an interview with another #girlboss and got to know what keeps these Queens motivated to do the mostest! But why just stop at August? Women should be celebrated every month. So every second Friday for the rest of 2018 you can expect a new another one of these Girls Boss interviews - I hope it inspires you as much as it inspires me! This week we chat to Teshie Ogallo, a UCT student and fashion blogger who just this month launched her online store, STYLETECH by Teshie Ogallo.
If you've been to any clothing store lately you've probably
come across some kind of shirt with the slogan "The Future Is Female"
- as soon as corporate finds an opportunity, they commercialise on it and this
is no exception. However, the phrase still holds so much weight.
Women are taking over all aspects. This is undeniable. Most
undergraduate classes are at least 70% female, stay at home moms are becoming a
dying breed and in general women are dominating every sector of life. However
the scale isn't completely balanced, especially in the entrepreneurial sector.
While this isn't completely new territory for the fairer sex, it tends to be a
rather hostile one. That's why organizations like Future Females are so
necessary.
What is Future Females?
A movement formed by females for females. It is an
empowerment movement aimed to uplift and helps women from all walks of life
through their entrepreneurial journey. The organisation first launched in South
Africa in August 2017 (Exactly a year ago!) and have already grown to have over
3000 members of the community actively participating to drive our mission
globally with events in South Africa, German and Namibia. The Future Females
mission is to accelerate the success of aspiring and existing female entrepreneurs
and intrapreneurs to provide an environment where females can connect, and
access the necessary resources.
2 March 2018 is SheDecides Day. The SheDecides movement is founded on a belief in "a world where every girl and woman can decide what to do with her body, with her life, and with her future."
South Africa is also a part of their worldwide campaign with the SheDecides Flagship Event, to be held in Pretoria, 1st March 2018 and bringing together over 200 young people and politicians from Eastern and Southern Africa.
