About Tina Mbachu Obodozie

As a dynamic professional, I navigate the nexus of technology, innovations for inclusive economies, entrepreneurship & capacity development; all within a gendered ESG lens. After 10 years of supporting and creating programs with various nonprofits to benefit some of the world\'s most vulnerable groups, I am increasingly passionate about how business and entrepreneurship can 10x on social and economic development, alongside a financial return. Regarding technology; I am specifically passionate about technologies/innovations focused on linking Africa\'s informal artisans, entrepreneurs, and businesses to the formal sector, ensuring increased access to market and capital. As a creative entrepreneur, I am passionate about creating products that add value to those who make and use them. I founded A Few Good Things as a side hustle and currently working on growing it as a multi-vendor e-commerce platform that highlights sustainably and ethically made fashion, home decor, and lifestyle goods that are made in Africa. As the founder of Atelier MBOKA, I am building an intentional accessories brand with a focus on creating an inclusive value chain, where Africa\'s artisan talents are showcased alongside global talents.https://tinambachu.carrd.co/
