How Kebone Moloko supports queer women entrepreneurs in Africa:
As the organization has become more established, Moloko says that African businesses have also begun reaching out to them for advice on how to be more inclusive.“We have now given more awareness to the importance of inclusion of queer people, specifically within the business sector,” she says.
Moloko hopes to eventually open chapters across Africa, as well as hold more summits and events outside of South Africa. Accomplishing this will be difficult, she says, because in many countries it is not safe to be out and visible. In some areas where that is the case, the organization already offers support to entrepreneurs without having official chapters.
Still, Moloko hopes someday QWB +Allies will have established a supportive ecosystem of entrepreneurs, investors, corporate partners, and working professionals across the entire African continent. “We want to see a society where African queer women are able to get access to equitable business opportunities,” she says, “and have a good supportive network of mentors and cofounders.”Note: An earlier version of this article incorrectly stated that Moloko attended graduate school at Stanford University
