Aprovecho el espacio, para compartirles algo de mi experiencia como Local Guide, hacer un tributo a una gran persona y amiga y de paso un homenaje a todas las emprendedoras del mundo
Ella es doña Rocyo, propietaria de la “Tienda Mixta Rocy”, es una mujer de gran iniciativa que no le teme al riesgo, sí es para progresar
Se distingue en la comunidad por su generosidad, seriedad y buen corazón
Mi primera contribución en lugares para Google Maps la hice al inaugurarse su emprendimiento, que presta un valioso servicio para los habitantes y visitantes del sector
I choose to talk about myself today. Learnt tailoring in 2015 and decided to make a little business out of this new hobby of mine. I had a job as a graduate Engineer and combining my business with this job was so hectic but it worked. I was living in Nigeria at that time. In 2018, I got elected for a United Nations Engineering Fellowship program in Poland. I had to leave my business for this program and I missed my sewing machine everytime! In 2019, I moved to Canada for my masters program and I’m so excited to announce that I’ll be reopening my small business again in December,2019!!! It won’t be easy combining school, work and my business but it will be worth it because sewing is therapeutic to me. You all can check out my business page on Instagram to see my designs. https://www.instagram.com/nonisclothing/ These are photos of me in some of my designs. Let me know what you think!
Women’s Entrepreneurship is a great thing. In Bangladesh, there are many women you can find who earn for her family from her own little business. @KatieMcBroom

Hi @KatieMcBroom This is regarding my work. I am artist and Crafts teacher. I take classes in creating crafts. Also I take this opportunity to display some of my Art works.
@KatieMcBroom excellent! I know many empowered and successful women that started their own paths a while ago and with effort were able to meet and surpass their most challenging goals. True champions!
I am always a fan of hardworking, sensible women like my wife. Today I appreciate you @KatieMcBroom and all the women in this community who choose to volunteer themselves sharing in the map and guiding the world,
@Chinonso , I am happy to see how proud you are of your womanhood, your profession and passion. Being your first comment in Connect community, your narration was awesome
@Chinonso I was so confused when I saw your name as I thought my account was hacked. Haha, hello namesake! I love your narrative and I wish you much success in your business. You said you wanted to start December 2019 - are you still in Canada or are you back in Nigeria. We have a big local guides community and Nigeria and depending on the city, we can also connect you to the local communities. I’m currently in Owerri, Imo State, Nigeria!
