Togo: A rare female motorcycle taxi

Suzanne N’Dati Tignindo is tackling gender stereotypes: The young Togolese is a motorcycle cab driver: a job usually reserved for men.

She picked up the job to save money to open her own hairdressing shop. Suzanne loves her job, but she doesn’t intend to do it all her life. She was trained as a hairdresser. She has two big dreams: to open her own hairdressing shop and to have the license to drive heavy trucks.

Many are curious about Suzanne and her motorcycle. Her courage is welcomed and encouraged by satisfied customers. Internet users have mobilized to support the young mother. With donations, users want to help Suzanne to make her dreams come true.
