Why LoA loves it…
At Lionesses of Africa, we are great believers that if you harness your passion and use that as the inspiration for a business, you are more likely to be fulfilled and successful, because passion drives profit. Ebele is a great example of this approach and her passion for music drives her in life and in business. She uses her talent to entertain through her music performance and composition, and at the same time, helps others through training to find their fulfillment in life too. — Melanie Hawken, founder & ceo, Lionesses of Africa
