How to trust the process on the path to "becoming" your limitless best with Rebeća Lewis.

from Coffee with Kofi · host Kofi Kyei

Today, I’m joined by Rebeća Lewis, former diplomat, former CEO of the social impact sustainable fashion brand Inside Out, AND current CEO & Founder of Ascend Global Impact. Rebeća’s career path is anything but linear. The diverse experiences that have shaped her along the way ensure that her story is a powerful reminder that there isn’t just one way to build a meaningful career or life!In this conversation, we explore her upbringing, the pivotal moments that influenced her direction, and how she’s learned to embrace uncertainty rather than resist it. We also dig into what it really means to enjoy the process of “becoming”… especially when the path ahead isn’t always clear.If you’ve ever felt like you’re figuring things out as you go, this one’s for you.So grab your coffee and let’s sip into that inspiration!Key Takeaways:* Pivotal Shift: A session with the President revealed the social justice nexus of climate change, inspiring Rebeća to create her own portfolio of work focused on racial equity and community building.* Career Synthesis: Rebeća's diverse roles, including sales, provided the skills (e.g., resilience, connection) that now fuel her purpose-driven work, proving that "rejection is just the beginning of a conversation."* Ascend Global: Founded to continue the community-building work she started as a diplomat. Ascend Global Impact aims to close the generational wealth gap for the African diaspora, starting with its STEAM accelerator.* Ambitious Expansion: The Ascend Innovators STEAM accelerator is scaling from Ghana to Nigeria, the UK, the Caribbean, and the US, with a long-term goal of reaching 1 million young women!Episode resources:Rebeća Lewis: www.linkedin.com/in/rebeca-lewisDonate to Fifty for Fifty (Robotics Lab for Ghana): www.gofund.me/a65e5436dAscend Global Impact: www.ascendglobalimpact.comChay Executive Coaching: www.chayexecutivecoaching.com
