Kimberly Ofori – Working your way up on the job market #Chasingyourdreams

Africa On Focus the Podcast

Let’s talk to Kimberly Ofori, a 29-year-old powerhouse that has us hanging on her every word. Born in Amsterdam and raised in Almere, Kimberly is of Ghanaian and Surinamese descent, and claims to have been “ordained to be a lawyer” even before she was born! Having studied several courses at universities in the Netherlands and the USA, Kimberly’s educational background, though decorated, tells the story of her struggle to find a balance between fulfilling her parents dreams and also doing other things that she was great at. Always a go-getter, Kimberly moved to Dubai on a whim, working in business consultancy and setting up three businesses while she was there. The aptly named ‘Apreneur’ social network for African professionals was her latest project, widely known within the African diaspora community. Join us to hear more about how Kimberly changed her mind set to match that of the work environments she encountered, and what works best as leverage in the job market here in the Netherlands.
