Built from inside the community, not from outside looking in.
Fayza Mohammed Ahmed founded Iron Rose Digital in Johannesburg to close a gap she saw firsthand. Arab and Ethiopian diaspora business owners were being overlooked by agencies that did not speak their language or understand their world. She built Iron Rose Digital from inside these communities, not from outside looking in.
