I came across this great article about a New Orleans resident, who started her own business, selling T-shirts! What struck me about Tiffany Williams story is how she used Teespring. Teespring is an online platform that allows individuals to make and sell their goods.
Because of this existing platform, her skill, and access she was then able to quit her job in sales, and is now fully self employed. She continued using the internet to build her brand by finding all employees on various websites.
Through her use of ICTs she has now been able to build a brand that makes 7 figures a year.
Tiffany Williams story shows the possibilities and opportunities that may exist for everyone if not for the digital divide.
