If August was a flower, what would it be?
Discover August’s unique blooms: gladiolus, the vibrant sword lily, and poppy, symbolizing remembrance, creativity, and imagination. These values resonate deeply at La Plage Factory, shining through our monthly community meetup.
Exceeding Expectations
This month’s meetup surpassed all expectations, fostering profound conversations and connections among individuals from our community and beyond. The highlight? Giovanni J gave a captivating presentation on the art of storytelling in business, using his 15-year journey in entrepreneurship from Mauritius to mainland Africa as a case study, culminating in the birth of his venture, Start Your Business.
