On this episode, Lilly and I get real and candid about adversity, transitioning to life in the diaspora, entrepreneurship, and women empowerment.
What inspires me the most about her is how she is always seeking ways to connect women in the diaspora with investment opportunities back home.
As our conversation proceeds, she quotes a saying that goes; "In every family, there is a person that breaks the cycle of poverty, I hope that person is me" and we could not agree more!
Let us claim it!

If the last thing we ever do on this earth is inspire these brilliant minds, then our work here is done.
