Hi, I’m Dr. Nataliey Bitature
I’m a Leadership and Performance Coach for African women, Speaker, and African entrepreneur.
As a working African woman, I have experienced the challenges many women face, and over the last 10 years, I have worked to overcome them. This has led to my work and companies being recognized by Forbes, The World Economic Forum, Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, and several UN Agencies.
I founded HER, an online empowerment community for young African women, to help other African women access the support and mentorship that helped me succeed.
Over the last 2 years, I started making business and personal development videos on Facebook and YouTube in hopes to be of use to young women seeking mentorship. I was overwhelmed with the response.
Ladies wanted more information and short, accessible videos to guide their growth.
As a mentor and coach for African women, I also realized that one of the biggest challenges women face is their mindset. Women aren’t supported and encouraged to believe in themselves.
"I created the HER platform and all our courses to teach the tools that can support them and provide a supportive community of like-minded women. It is my way of packaging my experiences and training to help them and ladies like you expand your potential."
Nataliey Bitature is currently the Chief of Staff at The Simba Group, an East African group of companies spanning Hospitality, Energy, Telecom, Real Estate and a Foundation.

Musana Carts has partnered Coca Cola, The Rockefeller Foundation, Mastercard Foundation and Ideo.org on an array of projects promoting inclusive business growth.
