Erica Paiva, a Mozambican woman entrepreneur building a strong personal media brand — Lionesses of Africa

What inspired you to start your company?

I thought that to have a company I needed it to have a focus on a product and several employees until I realized that I was my own product due to so many skills that I had up my sleeve.

Why should anyone use your service or product?

I’m passionate in everything I do, and most of all I do it with love.

Tell us a little about your team

For now, I’m working alone, but I have a partnership with some agencies.

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

I don’t come from an entrepreneurial background. I have worked in the communication sector since I was 16 years old, I started with the role as Master of Ceremony, and later I started planning and producing events. After 5 years of experience in that sector, I decided to work as a tv host which gave me an idea to use my new skills to start making movies.

What are your future plans and aspirations for your company?

I want to establish my name in the market and help others that have the same dreams of becoming a tv host, actress, events producer and so on. I also hope that I can use my skills to launch three books, the first one will be this year.
