Hi! I am Hawa, 21 years old and born and raised in Rotterdam. I am fully Liberian (West African). Currently, I am a third-year International Business student in Rotterdam with marketing as my specialization. I am a true R&B fanatic, love dancing, writing, and trying food from different cultures.
I am a social media and content creation intern. I am in charge of creating and posting content for our social media, our blogs (where we post things such as our branding interviews), and our newsletter. I also assist with events and collaborations.
Topics surrounding diversity and minorities have always sparked my interest. Social studies were one of my favorite subjects during high school. It opened my eyes even further to disparities that exist in different communities. FEM-START’s mission to bridge the funding gap resonates with me deeply, as I have seen how access to resources can change lives. Supporting female entrepreneurs is important if we want a more inclusive society where women get the same chances in a male-dominated environment. And I always love to see women succeed!
What I love about my job at FEM-START is how involved I get to be in different events and initiatives. Each event or initiative provides a unique opportunity to connect with other inspiring female entrepreneurs, who I can learn from. I always look forward to the design phase, where we brainstorm ideas on what visuals will fit the best and what message we are trying to portray.
I aim to apply my academic knowledge into practical situations, while also developing a deeper understanding of strategic content creation. Overall, I want to develop my marketing skills and grow in a dynamic environment.
It’s okay if it takes you an extra year or more steps to get where you want to be. There is absolutely no rush or deadline in life; you still have lots of time to do the things you want to do.
What is meant for me, will simply find me.
FEM-START is ready to support you on your entrepreneurial journey. We provide educational courses on funding, pitching, and finding investors, nurture a growing community of female entrepreneurs, and organize events all year long.
