Hetty Boachie-Yiadom: Co-Founder P&H Boutique - Empowering African Entrepreneurs Through Mentorship.
On this weeks's episode, I chat with Hetty Boachie-Yiadom, an award winning entrepreneur and Co-Founder of P&H Boutique, South Africa's largest African print retail brand.
While working for a leading South African bank, Hetty and her husband Papa started a fashion retail business. They would eventually leave their day jobs and scale P&H Boutique from their home to 7 stores across South Africa.
Hetty is also the Lead Coach at Hetty The Entrepreneur, where she guides entrepreneurs to achieve their goals through results-based mentorship. She has set an ambitious goal to produce 300 African-led businesses who will earn in multiple currencies through digital products.
Hetty graduated from University of Pretoria with a major in Political Science and a minor in English. She was named a Top 200 Young South African by Mail & Guardian in 2019, Top 50 Thriving Female Founders, and ranked number 1 on Vusi Thembekwayo's Top 40 mentorship programme.
Hetty's African Business Story is dedicated to empowering African led businesses and helping them thrive.
