Our 7th episode was a masterclass in diaspora engagement with the incredible Lorraine Wright-Boateng MBE. Known as the “Chief Side Hustler,” Lorraine has successfully bridged the gap between high-level roles at UBS and Meta and a thriving entrepreneurial career in Ghana.
Data, Impact & Assertiveness
Lorraine’s journey isn’t just about hard work—it’s about strategy. She shared how she uses data to analyze the impact of her projects and how she maintains unshakeable confidence in male-dominated industries.
We didn’t shy away from the tough topics either—Lorraine spoke candidly about “upward bullying” from staff and the specific challenges of managing a business in a landscape that may be unfamiliar to those coming from the diaspora.
Community is Everything
One theme that radiated throughout the session was the power of the inner circle. Lorraine’s commitment to her friendship group and the wider community is a template for how to grow without losing your support system.
