Affiong Williams is a young African woman from the country Nigeria. She has become and inspiration to me in many ways after reading the article about her. Her company is called ReelFruit. She saw the demand for fresh, natural, quality foods and jumped right in. Nigeria’s climate is well apt to grow some very delicious fruits. Affiong with ReelFruit started drying the fruits and selling them. The thing that inspired me the most is her quote, “I hope to be on the cover of FORBES AFRICA in five years’ time.” What a bold statement!
That statement is bold!!!! She saw a niche and went after that. Very proud of her.
I believe with the progress she has made and the resources she is utilizing she will fulfill that bold statement. She saw a need and a natural resource and put two and two together to create this amazing idea.
As you stated, and Jeff so enthusiastically agreed, Affiong Williams is a bold woman. Natural food is an important industry to develop. Williams understood this, was passionate about it, and worked hard to make a difference. I hope someday I can help change the world too by keeping people healthy. The following bold statement was said by me, a fellow millennial entrepreneur: “I am passionate about raw milk.” Thanks for the inspiring post, Matt!
