“Today, I celebrate and appreciate this woman, Juliet Kego (President and Co-founder of @WholeWomanNetwork, WWN), for her mentorship, sincere love and beyond support for our brand and myself. She’s that person I call any time I am burnt out and feel like giving up. Starting a brand as an immigrant-black-woman in one of the most challenging industries (meat production), in Canada is overwhelming. Fortunately, I am surrounded by amazing people (like the community at WWN), who will not take no for an answer, who embrace me when I want to cry, who understand the situation and who become family when I need one. Thank you madam president,.. Ms. Juliet Kego for everything.” – Balkisu Umar Aliyu, founder Elsutra Foods Inc., Canada
