Epi 8:How An Internship in Rwanda Inspired Meshia Rudd-Ridge to become a Serial Social Entrepreneur More To Black

Meshia Rudd-Ridge’s journey started back in college in 2010 when she decided to study Kiswahili intensively in school. Tune in to learn about how Meshia completed an internship in Rwanda, lived in Ghana for 4.5 years, traveled to 14 African countries and started TWO social enterprises afterwards. After starting a travel company for Diasporans who wanted to explore the continent’s beauty, Meshia was inspired to start her first social venture, Cool & Collected Africa. After Covid-19 began to cause a decline in tourism rates globally, Meshia launched her new social venture Inala; a B2B commerce platform that connects brands and retailers to artisans who produce socially-responsible goods. Her goal is to redistribute more wealth in the industry to actual creators.
