Manage episode 274321269 series 2483705
Abu Fofanah is one of 7 children born in West Africa, whose mom won the refugee lottery during the civil war to go to America and start a new life. While his mom was only making $28k a year, the community supported Abu and his family through their childhood, through school, education, and university.
His career began at just 17 years old when he was given the unique opportunity to work at one of the big four firms: PwC. Abu then spent the next few years living in India, London, Paris, and Milan. During his time abroad, he paved his own path in using his skill in design thinking and data to begin helping local brands as well as big brands like Versace.
Today, Abu Fofanah is a digital strategist and 7-figure entrepreneur, the CEO of a digital marketing agency called House of Fofanah, which has an incredible online program targeted to helping small business owners utilize digital marketing to grow their business, which has helped over 4000 women of color founders begin monetizing their brands.
Abu has worked alongside some of the world’s most recognizable Fortune 100 and 500 companies around the world helping them transform their business.
