EP 69 - Jennifer Ogunyemi: "You must never stay stagnant"

Our guest this week is Jennifer Ogunyemi, a business owner,
author, mentor and speaker. She is the founder of Sisters in
Business which aims to support women from all walks of life on
their entrepreneurial journey.


Our two-part conversation takes us through Jennifer's gripping
life story: from being homeless at 16 years old living in
hostels, to finding solace in Islam, to becoming the self-aware,
driven individual (and mother of 4!) she is today, part 1 of our
conversation gives us insight into Jennifer's current life and
reality as Founder and Leader of Sisters in Business, a platform
set up for women of all races and religions to network,
collaborate and be inspired.


Jennifer is passionate about representation, religious diversity
and Inclusion. After a 10 year career at the NHS working with
diverse and vulnerable communities, Jennifer decided to step away
and focus on what she cares about the most - changing the
narrative of the Muslim business woman. And it was in 2017 whilst
6 months pregnant that Jennifer setup “Sisters in Business” as a
reaction to her feeling lonely and isolated after a business
venture of hers failed. She wanted to connect with women who
understood her faith as well as the reality of business.


Today, Sisters in Business has held over 30 networking brunches
with over 1500 women of all races and religions walking through
the doors and has become a safe space for women to network,
collaborate, and be inspired. Jennifer is a firm believer that
female entrepreneurs can be successful without compromising their
values, beliefs or family and community roles.
