With the aim of equipping and empowering women, Amanzimtoti Trauma Unit (Turning Point) hosted a women’s entrepreneur workshop recently. The workshop was attended by 48 women who were given ideas on how to start or grow their businesses. The first guest speaker, Stacey Yates, who is a motivational life coach, opened the morning with an ‘ice breaker’ which included lots of fun and laughter. She also presented a motivational talk on how to overcome life’s many, overwhelming obstacles. The second guest speaker, Bukiwe Mashiyane, did a PowerPoint presentation on how to start, fund and grow a business. Bukiwe highlighted the importance of completing documentation, registration of businesses and also mentioned that NDA could assist future female business owners.
“At the workshop, a few women showcased their businesses and shared a few challenges and ideas with the attendees. With much appreciation to Fight Like A Girl, Finesse Financial Solutions and Seema Rugharbar for sharing their struggles and stories regarding gender-based violence and how they empowered themselves to become successful business owners,” said the organisation’s Norma-Jean Veldsman.
