Valerie Traore: Founder & Executive Director, Niyel – The Business of Social and Political Advocacy

by Akaego Okoye | Aug 13, 2020 | Season 1

Valerie wanted to do things differently. She told herself she was young, didn’t have the funds and needed more experience. Passion said no! So she quite her job, sold everything she owned raising $10,000. With that seed money she started Niyel, a campaigns and advocacy firm based in Dakar, Senegal. It’s been 12 years since she took that leap and we explore the journey so far.
