Solape embarked on her professional journey in marketing, fueled by her deep passion for the field. However, she soon observed a concerning trend: the lack of women engaging in financial discussions, which she attributed to systemic barriers and personal biases. Motivated by this insight, she founded Hervest, a fintech startup dedicated to empowering women and bridging the gender finance gap.
In her book “Stripped: An African Woman’s Guide to Building Generational Wealth,” Solape endeavours to offer a comprehensive roadmap for anyone seeking to navigate their personal finance journey, irrespective of their background or current financial standing.
