Hi Hippies,
 
We are back with another episode of the podcast! This one features our very first non-Nigerian guest so we are very excited to be going global! 😆

Our guest on Episode 10 is Aïssatou Toure, Hippie of the Month for October 2021. Aïssatou Touré is a Belgian-Senegalese development consultant and entrepreneur. On this episode, we speak with Aïssatou about her transition from a full-time job in a leading global development firm to her move back to Dakar to run her family-owned artisanal chocolate company called Reine Cabosse (Instagram; Website). 

We chatted about the challenges of running a niche family business, and doing business in Senegal/Africa in general. We also touched on the cost of living in Dakar, the difference between the Francophone and Anglophone African experience, amongst others. 

Enjoy!
