These boss ladies are not your regular selfie-loving females; from board rooms to industry events, they wield and control significant power in their various entrepreneurial pursuits. But they are divas too! As you will see from these selfie photos of leading women entrepreneurs from across Africa.

We present you our first lineup of ‘Divapreneurs’ – major stakeholders and influencers in their different sectors… but divas nonetheless.
