EPISODE 014: How Charity Begins at Home (And Business) with Chika Russell

When it comes to success, one of the biggest motivators we talk about is our desire to give back. After all, the more financial wealth we have, the more wealth we can give to others and the more we can provide for those around us, right? I know that this is something that drives a lot of us as women. We all want to make a positive change in someone’s life, in our community, and in the world. But sometimes, especially in 2020, this can seem like such an overwhelming feat. Where do you start? How do you know if the little things you are doing on a daily basis are really enough? How do we make the transition from baby steps to big moves? Joining us on today’s episode to help answer some of these questions is mentor, entrepreneur, and CEO, Chika Russell! 

 

Chika is the founder of her business “Chika’s Foods,” a company that provides a delicious range of African inspired snacks produced by hand. Not only does her business inspire its employees and view their customers as friends, but it supports farmers and producers in Africa with fair trade principles as well.
