Launching a business from Ghana, inspiring & empowering women globally

In January, Amy Yip left her job at Google, sold everything in her New York apartment, and took a 1-way flight out to Ghana with her husband to volunteer at a breast cancer non-profit. The plan was to volunteer until May then start traveling around the world. Clearly COVID had different plans for them. Amy is still in Ghana now and embracing the gift in all of this: the time to focus on her area of passion: inspiring and empowering more women to let go of their ‘should’s’ and write the narrative they want to tell about the rest of their life.
