Today I’m sitting down with Fatima Kamenge, who is the founder of Social Ausum Consulting.
Fatima believes that our values shape all that we do, and through her work she helps businesses to consider People, Planet, and Profit in reaching for their next level of growth.
In addition to her Social Enterprise consulting, Fatima is also a passionate advocate for self-care in business as well as Socially Responsible Investing, which she offers as a service.
I was completely captivated by Fatima’s calm and confident approach to building and growing her business in a way that challenges the status quo and honours her unique perspective and experience. I wanted to talk to her for 5 more hours, because I am only just starting to understand what it means to be a social enterprise, how to invest your money in a socially responsible way and how to practice self-care as a business owner - but wow she shared some really incredible wisdom that we can all use as a launching pad to learn more.
