(please note the log scale again)

Images with light skin: Coach/Rich Person/Cardiologist/Heir/Captain/Director and Coach

vs for those with dark skin: Farmer/President/First Lady (Thank heavens for the Obama’s!) and Travelling Salesman.

Sadly we can all guess the future if all decisions (finance, employment, even personal credit as seen by the gender bias in the Apple Pay Card here) are guided or made by Ai.

This is why we have to ensure that images tell the TRUE story. As Lionesses we can’t simply hide away as Ai will just continue these myths about Women Entrepreneurs – as one of our ‘100 Lionesses’ found out when she applied for a Loan from her Bank and was asked why she did not just ask her husband for the money! This Lioness owns and runs one of the most successful companies in Africa – yet ‘marriage’ was what was foremost in this Bank Manager’s mind – given the images on Google, Ai too will be assuming there is a husband there to help! 

Be bold, publish photos of yourself in front of your business, tell the world proudly you are a Lioness, a CEO, a Leader, you as a woman entrepreneur have built this incredible business, have employed people and have brought hope and prosperity to their communities. Don’t allow images such as our title image be the only ones seen on the internet – look again at the Economist charts – ‘Farmer’, ‘Friendship’, ‘Smile’, ‘Happy’, ‘Dress’ these are the labels that Ai sees. Of course this is wrong, but we are in the Data and soon to be Ai age. We have to recognize this. Those who ignored Iron and stayed with Bronze as the world changed, did not last long.

But images alone are not enough.

The HoF tells of the time he introduced himself to a very serious looking person at an international summit, only to be greeted by the comment: “You don’t want to talk to me, I only lend in $10million clips.” Given Melanie had recently provided a very large international bank at the request of MasterCard, 5 Lionesses whose businesses could handle that kind of ticket (we could have given more from our inspirational ‘100 Lionesses’, but were only given 3 days to call, check if interested, gather financials, prepare and send – as you can imagine, not an afternoon’s work!), the HoF was able to point out this fact and only then there was interest – Data is so important!

This person sadly believed that the Lionesses could not be of interest because of ingrained beliefs that women entrepreneurs are only of a particular size and especially in Africa. He did not have the Data and certainly had not done his Research, as the HoF ‘politely’ pointed out!

We have to change the narrative, change the bias before it is too late, find and publish the Data. If not – think it is difficult for Lionesses to get finance before Ai? Sadly, “You ain’t seen nothing yet.”

As the FT said (here): “Africans need to start demanding more… More data won’t fix that by itself. But if governments know…exactly what is going on, they have less excuse to ignore it.” We would add that if Investors knew more about what was going on, they too would not only have less excuses, but would become very interested.

Data4SDGs agree (here): “Data…forms the backbone of decision-making and accountability, but too many people are left out of the data, and too much of the data is outdated or incomplete.”

This is why we have launched (Drumroll please…) Lioness Data. Our Research Director, Linda Zuze, a Phd in Economics, a Zambian and a true Lioness, is determined to drive meaningful data to not only change the world but to lead the world in their understanding of the incredible work being done by Lionesses.

Our first research study, conducted in partnership with New York University and supported by ABSA was published this week and can be found here. Titled: South African Women Entrepreneurs Job Creators Survey – it is a unique survey designed to provide better insights into the contribution being made by women entrepreneurs to job creation in the country. It has some fascinating insights, such as the large percentage of Lionesses who took a pay cut or no pay to keep their employees on during Covid; what Lionesses look for when employing new staff (at only 7% it’s certainly not academic or vocational qualifications!); how they were impacted by Covid; and of course a number of very interesting insights on access to finance.

Please download it, share it, discuss it, talk about it, celebrate it – this is just the start. It is the first in a long line of research publications we shall be bringing out soon, not only to highlight the incredible work our Lionesses do, but most importantly to drive the data and the discussion to deliver a solid foundation for Finance (in all its forms) to truly understand the scale of opportunities available.

This can only come through Data, though Images and through You. For those Lionesses who have helped and are currently helping across Africa and even those who are about to help (but we have not been contacted as yet) with our surveys, many, many thanks — 

You have no idea of the absolutely essential service you are doing for all Women Entrepreneurs across Africa now and for The Future.

TOGETHER WE CAN ADD MEANINGFUL COLOUR TO THE MAP.

Stay safe.

Lionesses of Africa had the pleasure of speaking to Nisha to learn more about her unique entrepreneurial journey and the impact she is making to children’s lives in Africa.

What does your company do?

Ubongo is a pan-African social enterprise that creates localized edutainment to equip Africa’s kids to learn and use their learning to change their lives and communities. Ubongo’s edutainment leverages the reach of mass media and mobile technology, the power of storytelling, and rigorous kid-centered research to create and distribute free multilingual pan-African learning to kids ages 3-14. Our programs significantly improve school readiness and learning outcomes for kids, and also promote social and behavioural change for kids, caregivers and educators.

What inspired you to start your company?

When I studied at University in Dar es Salaam, I became really interested in education. It became clear to me that even the brightest students in the country didn’t have the same opportunities or access to learning that I knew. I started to see education as a multiplier: when you give people an education foundation you can create generational change.

My co-founders and I wanted to help kids in Tanzania and across Africa get access to fun, kid-centered learning that was both relevant to them and easily accessible without having to have lots of fancy technology. In 2013, we started collaborating to create songs and videos and animations together in Dar es Salaam to teach math, and testing them with kids to see if they’d like them. We realized that kids loved the approach and that by creating local language, fun edutainment, and broadcasting it on accessible platforms like radio and TV, we could easily reach kids across the country to help them both learn, and love learning.

Once we had a pilot of a TV show that kids really loved and wanted to watch again and again, we decided we needed to go all in and register an organization, to take it forward. We launched our first show, Ubongo Kids, on TV in 2014 and then grew to adapt our programs to different local languages, and becoming truly multi-platform, with learners joining us across TV, apps, radio, interactive voice response, and YouTube. Now, Ubongo is the biggest classroom in Africa with more than 24.6 million learners.

Why should anyone use your service or product?

Our core principle is to create top-quality, kid-centered, localized, modular educational content that can be received on whatever media devices kids already have. When we started that was radio, TV and SMS. Now we also have a strong audience watching online and listening to our shows on mobile phones too.

We invest time and research into human-centered design to create formats and stories because it is storytelling, not technology, that is core to helping kids learn. We test our stories early and often with kids, to make sure that they’re really engaging, and then we develop them into media for different platforms like video, audio and books.

Tell us a little about your team

Ubongoers are lifelong learners. We see challenges as opportunities to learn, and we are committed to find better ways to work, create and deliver results. At the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, Ubongoers were forced to fully embody the skills and mindsets that we encourage in kids through our work. We’ve had to be resilient, creative problem solvers, and curious… we’ve had to keep learning, ask questions, and work together… and above all else, we’ve had to lead with empathy, practice gratitude, and live life with purpose. More than ever before, we relied on our core values “Ubongoers Principles” to guide our path, and it was only by “owning it,” “failing fast and failing forward,” “having a growth mindset,” and other Ubongo values which we will share, that we were able to not only survive during one of the most challenging periods in human history, but thrive.

Share a little about your entrepreneurial journey. And do you come from an entrepreneurial background?

I’m a social entrepreneur with a background in media and science, and a passion for education. My previous work includes producing science, technology and education content for the BBC, the Guardian, London Science Museum, directing award-winning documentaries, and helping develop online learning platforms. I led content design and development for the Fuse School, an open educational video platform that’s helped millions of global learners with math and science. I have a B.S. in Biology from Yale and MSc. in Science Media Production from Imperial College London, and also studied at the University of Dar es Salaam, Tanzania – experiences that have instilled a strong commitment to research backed and driven development.

What are your future plans and aspirations for your company?

Our vision is to be Africa’s leading creators of effective and inclusive edutainment. We’re setting ambitious goals to make effective edutainment freely accessible to kids in all countries in Sub-Saharan Africa, growing an industry-leading Pan-African team and culture and, inclusively scaling our impact to reach 60 million kids by 2025!

What gives you the most satisfaction being an entrepreneur?

Since co-founding Ubongo in 2013, I’ve focused on doing whatever it takes to get our products made, tested, and released – from acting as lead visionary to being a screenwriter and fundraiser. I’m someone who loves to do things like read every relevant paper on early literacy acquisition, create and test a dozen prototypes (including embarrassing puppet shows), and translate that into a format for a new TV segment. This has helped me to position Ubongo on the cutting edge of educational and behavior change media.

What’s the biggest piece of advice you can give to other women looking to start-up?

Ask yourself whether the problem you are seeking to solve is so important to you, that you’re willing to focus the next decade of your life on it. If the answer is yes, then you’re ready and you’ve got what it takes. Jump right in and don’t look back!

The new season of African Farming will not only introduce 13 new farmers to viewers, but also has a new presenter: me. Lindiwe Sithole, a seasoned presenter and aspiring farmer herself.

Sithole has been a presenter and producer of lifestyle programs at eNCA for many years and has interviewed several celebrities, including Tyler Perry, Usain Bolt, David Beckham, Black Coffee, Caster Semenya and Pres. Cyril Ramaphosa.

She decided to say goodbye to the entertainment industry because she wanted to tackle new things. Coincidentally she was talking to her mother about their plans to start farming again when she got the call with the offer to be the new producer of African Farming.

Lindiwe, from Evaton near Sebokeng in the south of Gauteng, knows farming. “I grew up on a farm where subsistence farming was practiced. My grandparents, Fana Patrick and Gladys Khathazile Sithole, owned a smallholding in Evaton where they kept ducks and chickens and grew vegetables and fruits.One of the apple trees bore the most sour apples I have ever tasted. I could never figure out what was wrong with the tree.”

The Sitholes didn’t have to buy vegetables or meat very often. Her grandmother also loved to bake and there was always more than enough to eat.

Getting up early on weekends to pull out weeds, water plants and feed the chickens is one of the memories that stayed with her. She and her mother are now looking for a piece of land to start a small farm. Her mother, a retired credit officer, will run the farm while Lindiwe continues her work and helps part-time.

She says she is very excited to present African Farming, especially as she and her mother are planning their careers in agriculture. “I am convinced that this was God’s plan!”
