The Art of Storytelling

STORYMATTERS BY SUSUANA O-K

An important storytelling of growing African Caribbean Business in the community

One important storytelling of growing African Caribbean business in the community is that of a young entrepreneur named Susuana who immigrated to a new country with her family from Nigeria. Susuana faced many challenges in his new community, including a lack of representation and visibility of African and Caribbean businesses. He noticed that there were very few African and Caribbean-owned businesses in the community, despite the large population of African and Caribbean immigrants.

Susuana was inspired to start her own business, a African Caribbean Irish Owned Chambers of Commerce that served traditional authentic service support from her home country. She faced many challenges in getting started, including finding funding, finding a suitable location, and marketing her business to a wider audience. However, she persevered and eventually opened her (virtual business networking support restaurant), which quickly became a popular destination for people in the community.

As her business grew, Susuana became a mentor and advocate for other African and Caribbean entrepreneurs in the community. She organized networking events, provided mentorship and support, and helped other entrepreneurs navigate the challenges of starting and growing a business by remaining authentic to your ethnicity culture. Over time, more African and Caribbean-owned businesses began to open in the community, and the community became more diverse and vibrant as a result.

Susuana's story is an important one because it shows how a single entrepreneur can make a difference in a community. By starting her own business and advocating for others, she was able to help create a more inclusive and diverse community that celebrated the contributions of African and Caribbean immigrants living in Ireland. Her story also demonstrates the importance of mentorship and support in helping entrepreneurs succeed, and the importance of representation and visibility for African Caribbean Irish minority-owned businesses to thrive.
