I began portraying Essie, Carine and their friends in 2004 in Lomé, Togo when they were teenagers. The girls read Sherlock Holmes, organised breadkdance battles in their neighborhood, studied for exams and discussed their future in a country they had decided offered no opportunities for them.
Hence, I interviewed seven Togolese entrepreneurs running successful businesses in Lomé. They shared their point of view on future prospects for the young educated generation in a West African country such as Togo.
