Episode Synopsis

Shiggi is a vibrant and dynamic Dutch-Kenyan entrepreneur based in London, with a life story as extraordinary as her pursuits. Guided by her unconventional motto, “I never asked to be here, but here I am,” Shiggi’s journey has been one of resilience, determination, and tenacity. From being raised by a Holocaust survivor and navigating the challenges of being the only Black student in a boarding school thousands of kilometers from home, to reinventing herself as a DJ when she realized she could outperform “Disco Dave,” Shiggi’s path has been anything but ordinary. Her professional endeavors are equally diverse. Shiggi is the founder of AudioFy, an audio assets production house, and performs internationally as a DJ under her NeoPink moniker. She is also the driving force behind SuperBodied, a fitness and wellness coaching company for hobbyletes, and is on a mission to launch a social enterprise in Kenya—a Mixed Martial Arts gym aimed at uplifting her local community. Shiggi’s story is one of embracing challenges, defying conventions, and living life to the fullest, inspiring others to pursue their passions with relentless tenacity.
