Busie Matsiko-Andan, a global strategist, serial entrepreneur and founder and president of the New York African Chamber of Commerce, shares two significant life changes, that drove her to shift her life completely.
Her father's sudden death, 2 months before her graduation walk, made her an workaholic in order to deal with grief, trauma and unexpected loss. Busie had a full time job and on the side, she founded one of the first fashion tech companies, which then was twice acquired.
When er second child was born, she came with severe food allergies, Busie, the workaholic was forced to entirely focus on being the primary care giver of her daughter. She was suddenly a stay at home mom - but then moved into being a work from home mom. But in this time, she realised how mother's careers suffer most. Ever since she has been advocating to bringing more women to the policy tables.
