Menaye Donkor of SHE-Y: “It might sound like a cliche but the best advice to other women striving to be entrepreneurs is to never give up; Never stop believing in yourself”

It might sound like a cliche but the best advice to other women striving to be entrepreneurs is to never give up. Never stop believing in yourself. It’s easier said than done but always remember that to be successful is to be dedicated. Great things do not come easy.

As a part of my series about strong female leaders, I had the pleasure of interviewing Menaye Donkor.

Menaye Donkor was born in Toronto, Ontario-Canada. She was brought up by her parents in Accra, Ghana and is the youngest of 7 children. She received her primary education in Ghana and graduated with an Honors degree in Marketing from York University in Toronto, Canada.

After winning Miss Universe Ghana in 2004, Menaye established a career in modeling and moved to New York City. She worked as an editorial model and graced the covers of many well-known magazines in Europe. Modeling opened many doors for Menaye and enabled her to establish many businesses.
