Ayanna Nahmias is the Founder and Executive Director of Zimbabwe Farm Project. She is a certified Project Management Professional and Information Technology consultant, who initially self-capitalized the Zimbabwe Farm Project in 2015. She uses social entrepreneurship to increase women’s empowerment and food security. She believes that the only path to self-sufficiency, self-determination, and freedom is achieved through skills-based learning and work opportunities. As a daughter of Africa, it was important for her to honor her father’s legacy after his passing in Zimbabwe. He was a Pan-Africanist who believed in and worked for Africa’s empowerment and self-determination. She carries on this dream and is committed to “leaving the world a better place than the one into which she was born.”
