Aisha Addo is the founder of Power to Girls Foundation, a non-profit organization that connects young girls with mentors and role models from across the world. Aisha graduated with a degree in Business Administration-Accounting; however, her passion has always been to make the world a better place for women across the world through the provision of guidance and mentorship opportunities. In this episode, Aisha shares with us how at the age of 17, a quest to find her place as a young, black teenage girl in Canada and the retrospective appreciation of the impact role models would have had on her life spurred her on to foster several platforms to provide guidance and mentorship to other young girls like herself. We discuss the integral role that therapy should hold in our lives, where our guest peels off the layered myths which act as a barrier to individuals seeking out therapeutic outlets. She shares the need for particularly young boys and men to utilize therapy as a tool for unravelling and embracing issues that they encounter in their lives. Aisha walks us through her journey towards starting her non-profit, Power to Girls Foundation. She describes how forming a small community of six young girls grew exponentially to sixty attendees at a conference and eventually served as the foundation for connecting mentors and role models to young girls from across the world. We also discuss her use of technology in creating safe spaces for women through her mobile applications, MyPower App, and ridesharing service, DriveHER. Aisha shares the importance of authenticity and of leaning into one's unique personality and characteristics to stand out and to be the very best version of yourself. She also shares a message to women around the world in commemorating the International Women's Day Celebration 2023.Links and Resources:Find Aisha Addo on LinkedIn Donate to Power To GirlsDownload the My Power AppThis podcast is produced by Nexa MediaDo you have a question for our hosts, email us at hello@changeafricapodcast.comFollow the podcast on Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, and LinkedInWatch on YouTube Hosted on Acast.

“The sky is the limit.  Do not limit yourself, and do not let fear be the reason you do not go after what you want.” - Aisha Addo Aisha Addo says she thrives on working to make the world a better place for women.   After leaving her native Ghana to move to Canada at 14 years old, she found herself in foster care for 2 years. At 18 years old she started ‘Power to Girls Foundation‘. Aisha wanted to provide young girls with a space where they could be inspired, empowered and provided with mentorship and support – all the things she wished she'd had growing up. Seven years on, she's taken the foundation to Ghana, and is looking to expand to other African countries. She's also working on building the first Leadership Centre for Women in Ghana to provide skills training for women, so they can gain economic freedom.   “Women are natural nurturers. You give us a seed, we give you a farm. So I believe that once you instill knowledge into a young girl, this is something that would go on to create change within the community, create change in society as well.” - Aisha Addo And as if running a foundation wasn't enough, Aisha has also launched Canada's first ride sharing service for women by women. The service, which is called DriveHer, was prompted by seeing the young girls from her foundation struggling to find safe transport, particularly late at night.   And what's next on her list of goals?  Well, to become Ghana's first female President of course! Aside from being a philanthropist and entrepreneur, Aisha is also a motivational speaker and consultant speaking in various events related to youth, entrepreneurship, women empowerment, and the African diaspora.  Aisha was named ‘One of 100 Black Women to Watch in Canada', as well as one of the ‘150 Black Women making history in Toronto'. She also received the ‘Young Black and Gifted Award for Community Service' and was named a ‘Black Diversity Group Role Model'.   WHAT YOU'LL LEARN IN THIS EPISODE How growing up in foster care and being in an abusive relationship inspired her to start a foundation to support and empower young girls The challenges she faced in starting and growing the foundation What made her start Canada's first ride-sharing service for women Who she'd most like to have dinner with, and what her favorite African dish is What she wishes she had more of in her life Her biggest goal The best advice she's ever been given, and that she lives by  What Aisha's ‘I Am' is Follow NDINI on: Website: http://www.ndini.com/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/NDINImedia/ Twitter: @NDINImedia Instagram: @ndinimedia Follow The NDINI Podcast on iTunes and Stitcher and SoundCloud
