EPISODE #1: ANKWETTA'S JOURNEY TO SELF DISCOVERY.

Welcome to the show! Today, we have an extraordinary guest, Akwetta Beatrice Achaleke—a trailblazing serial social transfopreneur and a transformational public speaker with a passion for making a global impact. Beatrice is not just an accomplished author and publisher, but she’s also the force behind GloBUNTU Books® and the “Africa for Smart Kids®” series.

With over 30 years of international experience, Beatrice’s journey is nothing short of inspiring. From 1995 to 2015, she lived in Europe, working across the globe and breaking barriers. She made history as the first Black woman to stand for parliamentary elections in Austria and was elected as the first president of the Black European Women’s Council, where she worked closely with the European Commission and Parliament.

In 2019, Beatrice founded Diversity Leadership and Consulting, and for the past decade, she has also been a lecturer at a European university. Her influence has reached international forums from New York to Nairobi, earning her over a dozen awards, including official recognition from the Federal Republic of Austria.

Beatrice’s GloBUNTU Transformation Mindset System is helping people and organizations worldwide to unlock their true potential. A proud mother of two incredible teenagers, Beatrice is also dedicated to nurturing the next generation through her “Africa for Smart Kids Program.”

Get ready to be inspired by her wisdom, passion, and commitment to making a difference in the world
