FENTY’S REGIONAL AREA MANAGER! (Pinch me)

Sub-Saharan Africa. I never truly did know who else to bet on when it came to purchasing my own dreams…. So I bet on MYSELF!

This is a new role I’m truly blessed to have, and count on you all, reading and supporting our continent & community to never hesitate to come to me for any suggestions you truly believe will make a change!

I’m humbled for today, as I know it’s a stunning moment in my professional and personal experience! Humbled & Proud. (Mum are you reading ?)
