OnPeople

In this episode of OnPeople, we sit, with Louisa Kiwana Olafuyi, the Ugandan-born innovation specialist turned children's content creator who is building Africa's edutainment empire. As co-founder and COO of Kunda Kids, Louisa has gone from researching consumer insights at Unilever and Cambridge University Press to creating world-class African content that lets children see themselves in the stories they watch.               
She opens up about how the pandemic and Black Lives Matter movement sparked the mission behind Kunda Kids, what it's really like building a business with your spouse (and why she wouldn't recommend it to everyone), and her steepest learning curve: mastering fundraising and overcoming the intimidation of investor conversations.
Louisa also shares the power of extracting value from disappointment, how missing the top 10 at Africa's Business Heroes (after making it to the top 24 out of 32,000 applicants) became the fuel for even greater determination.
If you're a founder navigating co-founder dynamics, learning to embrace the unsexy parts of business, or believe that representation in children's media can change the world, this conversation is for you.
