BONUS 1: Comment la danse hiphop forme à l'entreprenariat: l'histoire d'un salon de coiffure atypique (Français)
This BONUS episode is in French. For subtitles, we recommend our listeners to watch it on Youtube. This is a beautiful interview about dance and entrepreneurship.
=======
Sandrine Nsita: son parcours de danseuse hiphop et dancehall était un échauffement pour son avenir en tant qu'entrepreneuse accomplie.
Notre invitée nous plonge dans l'essence même de la mission sociale de ses projets à Bruxelles et à Kinshasa. Les Ateliers Zarragga est un salon de coiffure hors du commun qui célèbre la beauté dans toute sa diversité. Sa quête personnelle, ponctuée d'auto-formation et de persévérance, est une source d'inspiration qui montre que le chemin vers le succès est souvent pavé de curiosité et de courage.
Au cœur de notre échange, la thématique de l'identité et de l'acceptation de soi prend une place prépondérante. Sandrine nous partage l'histoire émouvante d'une mère et de sa fille métisse, mettant en lumière les défis identitaires auxquels font face nombre de familles. Les Ateliers Zarragga deviennent ainsi un lieu où se tissent des liens forts, où l'inter-culturalité est célébrée et où chaque personne trouve sa place dans une "mosaïque de cheveux", chacun portant fièrement son histoire et son patrimoine unique. Les Ateliers Zarraga ne sont pas seulement un salon de coiffure, mais un véritable incubateur de talents et d'ambitions. Chaque mot, chaque projet de notre invitée est une invitation à investir en soi, à embrasser l'audace et à transformer ses rêves en réalité.
