Celebrating Women in Gender Stereotype Roles (Ezinne Okafor, the Automobile Dealer)
Hi, I am Ezinne Okafor
(Every Day Girl Autos)
I’m a Dealer in all kinds of automobiles.
I play in a Gender-Stereotyped Space
Passion..I’ve always loved cars even as a little girl. I also discovered that there is profit in the business.
My dad was actually very supportive..he gave me my firstclient.
The Business can be quite frustrating..a lot of inconsistenciesand insincerity..There’s also instances where your malecounterparts try to intimidate you during negotiations andwhen it comes to giving you your due as a lady
There’s also the part where the male counterparts makeirresponsible and unrestricted advances at you.
The business is tasking but it’s all worth it..
A) be ready for disappointments and frustrations but that‘s justlike every other business I suppose.
B)You need to define who you are ab initio and be verydefinite about what you want in the business. It will help youmake appropriate decisions.
C) never cower before bullies…Hold your head up high andstand firm in the midst of any intimidation.
Three rules; A) Regardless of how hard I work, I never forgetthat it’s not by my power
B) I always look for avenues to get wisdom daily, which inturn,helps me navigate through the business of car dealership.
C) I try everyday to become an expert in automobile bysubmitting to any form of knowledge that can help mebecome an authority in this field..
Of course..we are still in the minorit, it would be beautiful tosee other ladies get on board..
