An African's Queen

Ep 02: Mr Perservance - Divinegift Afolabi

Listen Later

Divinegift Afolabi is the CEO and co-founder of HealthGo Technologies, a Nigerian start up, offering a global portal for general healthcare assistance and health record keeping leveraging blockchain technology.

What I admire about Divinegift, and why I have called him Mr Perservance and invited him to be a guest on An African's Queen, is because despite a difficult upbringing, this young man continues to push through every hardship seeking any which way to take steps to personally and professionally develop himself. 

He has demonstrated over the last two years that I've been connected with him on LinkedIn, a spirit for entrepreneurialism and a resiliency to succeed irrespective of the odds. He is a remarkable man whom I believe will achieve great things in his life. I encourage anyone who can support his entrepreneurial journey to reach out.

In our interview we cover a broad range of topics:

  • DG's entreprenuerial journey from the fashion industry to technology
  • HealthGo Technologies and how it's changing the health care industry in Nigeria by leveraging blockchain technology
  • What challenges DG and team are working to solve in their business
  • Mental health care and advice for start up founders
  • DG gives me advice about what I need to consider with our relocation to Nigeria
  • And, we flip the interview with DG asking me a question: Are western countries racist against Nigerians?
