In her fifteen-year career, she has been a vital part of several entrepreneurial and philanthropic organizations while maintaining a prolific voice in international media. Currently, she is focused on promoting Bookings Africa, an on demand digital marketplace that seeks to make critically important improvements to working conditions across the continent.

Helping women embrace this much needed opportunity for economic empowerment has been a point of personal pride for Fadé, who has been a steadfast advocate for women's rights for years.

The Cherie Blair Foundation for Women helps release the potential of women entrepreneurs in low and middle income countries, and close the global gender gap in entrepreneurship.
