“It is vitally important to find role models who emanate passion, commitment and can share their stories of success through hard work and endeavour,” Mr Nirsimloo, concludes. “For young girls aspiring to succeed, nothing beats meeting a living breathing woman entrepreneur. Realising not only do they share the same colour but they also share the same desire to succeed in the future is invaluable.”.
