I created a women’s empowerment non-profit, Incuba-Naari a networking site for women . I developed my communication, collaboration, organisation, and media literacy skills as I scouted, interviewed, and constructed articles to promote local small businesses while keeping to the strict time-frames I set for myself. Most importantly, I was able to practice empathy in action, and give back to my community.

Today, Incuba-Naari has created a total community of over 300 individuals. We are in the process of navigating a brand-partnership with two start-ups (once being a digital marketplace for small business products). The more than 20 businesses that I promoted had a profound impact on this community, as showcased in my video above.

While I am proud of what I was able to achieve in these six months, my journey with Incuba-Naari is far from over. Personal project has truly made me a more confident individual, and I’m extremely grateful for the opportunity that it has given me to make an impact on my community!
