Magatte: A Name to Remember

Meet Magatte Wade, an inspirational woman from Senegal who started her own business and is leading the way for change in her own country and around the world. We had the chance to talk to her about growing up in a foreign country and running her own company, Tiossan.

Interviewer: What was it like growing up in Senegal?
Magatte: During my early years, I lived with my grandmother. Most of the time, I was playing with other kids from my village and organizing our games. I guess that's where I first practiced my leadership skills.

Interviewer: Who inspired you when you were growing up?

Magatte: My grandmother. She was a very wise woman. When it was time for me to join my parents in Europe, I will never forget my grandmother's words. She explained that I was going to a place where I knew nobody. She told me that the people in my new country wouldn't look like me and wouldn't speak my language. But she told me not to be worried or afraid. "At the end of the day, what you all have in common is that you are all human beings," she said. She reminded me to believe in myself and told me
that however impressive the other children may be at school, I could do the same, if not better. She was right. When I arrived, I looked and sounded different from everyone else. School was a challenge at first, but I dealt with it, and soon I was achieving good grades just like the others.

Interviewer: Why did you start Tiossan?
Magatte: Women in Senegal have a special way of thinking about beauty. Senegalese women are most interested in keeping their skin healthy because they believe that skin can only be beautiful if it is healthy. So, I created the skincare brand Tiossan to share this way of thinking about beauty with the world. But my goal was not only to share Senegal's beauty Magatte Wade, founder and CEO of Tiossan, a skincare company
secrets; I also wanted to help my country. Thanks to my company Tiossan, I have been able to put money into a school to teach Senegalese people how to start their own businesses. I want people to know that Tiossan products will not only bring them healthy skin but will also help create jobs and grow future entrepreneurs in Senegal.
