She loves to inspire entrepreneurs to build businesses that can run with or without them, giving them the freedom to have a sustainable and thriving business even through the toughest of curveballs life will throw at them.
Excellence believes that, with technology playing a role in various careers, from art and history to law and medicine and more, learning tech skills will set women up for economic independence. She believes that the Information and Communications Technology sector needs more girls and women therefore, they must get involved.
That is why, through her Techy Train’s online academy, they provide services like web design, graphic design, social media management and more to women.
According to her, the services are made easy so that the women can understand clearly.
When Excellence decided to give back something tangible to Africa and the young people around her, she dreamt of creating a system that truly made an impact in the lives of others; something that empowers them to have options and better leverage – especially women.
She knew that beyond numeracy and literacy, technology is the new foundation of learning and basic digital skills would soon no longer be an option.
Hence the decision to offer a basic digital skill course that is as practical as can ever be so people can easily apply and get results immediately.
