Innovation And Empowerment With Rose Afriyie
In our second episode, we talk with Rose Afriyie, Co-Founder of mRelief, a non-profit that helps people sign up for food stamps. We discuss Rose's experiences and how they have led her to make decisions that impact her work and life. Her devotion to helping lift up the lives of others began early in her life from personal experiences that have since shaped who she is and what she wants to be about in the world.
From interning at the White House to writing for Time, her story is powerful, and she went into tech because she believes writing software is a superpower that people of color and women should have exposure to. She and an all-female team have built an impressive technology product that was initially incubated at the prestigious YCombinator accelerator.
