Quotes "Never apologize for wanting a seat at the table and pursuing your dreams. For African women in particular, there will be times, in fact more often than not, when you look around a room (whether it’s of investors, fellow entrepreneurs, or potential partners) and wonder where your place is in this world of white men, this world that you want to be a part of, one of innovators, rebels, adventurers, game-changers. Don't let feeling like an outlier deter you from being the change in representation that you want to see in the world." I have always had an adventurous spirit, and have striven to push the envelope and look for creative solutions to challenges. Go after what you want. Dare to go after your dreams, no matter how ridiculous they or the notion of you being the one to achieve them seems.Mosia's word of advice to African women in STEM The scale of the energy access challenge means that our dreams have to be big too.” Find an ecosystem to nurture your ideas, because going at it alone is virtually impossible. Mosia's advice to newbies in the TECH industry Entrepreneurship is not for the fainthearted. Being a woman can make it harder, and that means you have to have a doubly thick skin.
