Shades and Layers is an African storytelling platform for Black and Other Women of Color Entrepreneurs. Each podcast episode explores the joys and challenges of entrepreneurship as experienced by this demographic on the African continent and in the diaspora.

Podcast Host, Kutloano Skosana Ricci, creates a safe space for guests to openly and unapologetically give their take on a range of topics and themes – including ‘Representation’, ‘Funding’, ‘Successful Living’ and ‘Sustainability/Sustainable Business Practices’.

Guests include Beauty Industry founders, Fashion and Design mavens, Wellness entrepreneurs, Media and Entertainment leaders and other Creatives. Each episode is instructional, meaningful and inspirational.

At Shades and Layers we believe that storytelling is the best way to teach and learn.

So, whether you’re running a social enterprise or a for-profit entity, we invite you to share your entrepreneurial journey.
