ANGIE AMRA ANDERSON – A CALL FOR THE 1ST AFRICAN-ARTS MULTI-PURPOSE ACADEMY – PLEASE SUPPORT

CALLING THE DREAM TEAM TO RAISE THE VISION FOR THE FIRST AFRICAN ARTS MULTI-PURPOSE ACADEMY. YES, I AM CALLING YOU. This is not a singular artistic egotistical mission. To state that I have been in African arts for 42 years and have seen all the various highs and lows is understated.

 

What is real is

(1) African Artiste Alliance – can be a formidable force.

(2) A building can be leased as an interim step towards our own building collectively via producing a range of artistic fundraisers
(3) A strong governance is needed to ensure the lasting legacy. This is a real call for real support, not lip service, but those interested in building a lasting legacy for our generation and the next, a cultural hub like no other. Say YES, below and/or better still say Yes, drop me a message with your contact and I will be in touch. ASE O!!! 2016 WE ARE ONE.

THE 22 YEAR OLD THAT BUILT A MULTI-MILLION BUSINESS IN SIX MONTHS

Agnes Mulewa Ng’ang’a looks like she has just stepped out of a glam magazine. She has the poise of a model and a radiant smile that lights up her face.

This 22-year-old is quickly becoming one of Kenya’s rising entrepreneurs. She is the chief executive officer of International Brand Solutions (IBS).

The firm worth over Sh6 million, is a fast growing research marketing company that is involved in rebranding to easily meet the market demand and the right audience. Born and brought up in Kawangware slums, Ng’ang’a probably had no clue what her life would turn out to be.

 

Agnes-Mulewa

However, she knew she had an investor’s blood flowing in her veins. At the age of seven, this visionary daughter of a civil servant would use her pocket money to purchase pencils at Sh3 and sell them at a higher price of Sh5 to her fellow classmates and save the profits.

This habit continued for the rest of her primary level classes until she got a scholarship to join Ngara Girls High School after passing with flying colours. She used her savings to help her single mum in meeting their daily basic needs.

From selling pencils to eggs in her upper primary, the discipline of saving from her profits taught her some of the critical lessons of being an entrepreneur. “My parents separated when I was young, my dad left, remarried and started a new family.

So we did not have a proper father-daughter relationship, but that did not stop me from achieving my dreams. I chose to focus and promised myself that one day I would not let any other girl like me lack what I lacked,” she says.

When we met for the interview by the poolside at her home, Mulewa said her company has worked for some startups in the country including instyle, Sufuria.com, Atlas, Cake-city and Plumbing Doctors.

Having achieved good results in this sector, IBS is now targeting top local companies such as Safaricom and Airtel with an aim of increasing their clients with research market findings.

Six months down the line the firm with only six employees, according to its latest accounts, has already made profits of over Sh1 million.

Despite these achievements, Mulewa, now a fourth year student at Strathmore University doing a Bachelor’s degree in Business and Information Technology, says one of the hurdles they face is the unwillingness of a company to face up to the fact that they need to rebrand despite there being convincing reasons that their means of operations are not helping them hit their profit targets.

Another challenge is the fact that the period given to them by some companies to complete their work is not enough hence having a big impact on their ability to complete their mandate. The question of her age as a vision bearer of IBS can also sometimes be a challenge.

“There is no law prohibiting youthfrom becoming billionaires at a young age, stereotyping of wealth associated to the youth should stop, beauty aside – who said that a woman cannot climb up a ladder without connections from a godfather?” she poses.

That is why Mulewa has started a girl empowerment programme to mentor those who want to get into business. “There is a gap in the society, because the current generation of girls is not well groomed for the future.

My target audience in this journey is mainly women and girls in their discovery point of life,” she clarifies. She says girls should give the same attention they give to beauty and fame to education and advancing their professional career.

They offer professional mentorship to all the girls and walk the talk by helping them achieve their dreams.
