As a business owner, I believe that advocacies should be a part of being a social business. This is not just for corporate social responsibility but should be a way for businesses to be relevant and provide communities for their supporters.
Hence, I have been active in local events, trainings, and communities to be able to help microentrepreneurs, startups, and SMEs in being a social business.
