Gislene Kouesseu, mostly known as Gigi, was born on January 11th, 1979, in Douala Cameroon. She obtained a master’s degree in Science Economics in the University Institute of Science and Technology of Yaounde Cameroon. This degree helped her build strong analytical skills and business acumen which later fueled my entrepreneurial journey. Gislene Kouesseu came to the US in 2004 as an international student at Los Angeles City College studying nursing, and unfortunately stopped after four years.
She is profoundly dedicated in improving lives and creating lasting impacts in the society, throughout her career, she became deeply concerned with the challenges faced by people with developmental disabilities. She had a motivation for social change, so in 2018, she and her housband founded an organization called Kouesseu and Associates devoted in helping individuals with developmental disabilities to achieve equality in the society and independence.
As the director of Kouesseu and Associates, she has been advocating for social initiatives which prioritizes the rights of disabled people, improvements in accessibility standards and other facilities in her surroundings. This has led Kouesseu and Associates to be a trusted partner for institutions, families working for inclusivity. Also created relationships with local NGOs to promote a proper environment for people with developmental disabilities.
Her story mostly relies on resilience, dedication, and a strong belief in the power of societal changes. Inspiring people around her and strongly believing in her mission which is to uplift the disabled population here in America and maybe in the whole world. Her vision is to provide necessary resources and support needed by these individuals to become fully independent in the future.
