Mrs Francisca, CEO of Slamm Technology, Returns to SVTV Africa to Share Powerful Lessons on Internships, Hard Work, and Building Success
Francisca, the CEO of Slamm Technology, recently made a return appearance on SVTV Africa’s Daily Hustle Worldwide with DJ Nyaami. In her interview, she emphasized the importance of volunteering, self-discipline, and training the next generation for long-term success.
She expressed her frustration with people who constantly complain but do little to change their circumstances. “If you put your mind to it, you can make it,” she said. “If your child finishes university and still doesn’t know what to do, then something went wrong in their upbringing.”
Francisca highlighted the value of volunteering and internships. She gave the example of two individuals—one who takes up voluntary work and gains opportunities, and another who sits idle, waiting for something to happen. “Success is optional. You either sit and complain or get up and fight for it,” she stated.
Sharing her personal journey, Francisca revealed that when she first arrived in America, she volunteered at a library for eight months. Through that opportunity, she met influential people, including a superintendent, and job offers started pouring in. “Wherever you are, there’s an opportunity—if you’re just waiting, it may never come.”
She continued, “Most of the success I’ve had in life came from doing things for free. When we were coming to Ghana, we offered free training. That’s how we built our network. Sometimes you have to give in order to get.”
Francisca also called for a change in how children are raised in Ghana. “We need to teach our children early on that their network is their net worth. Serve. Be humble. Invest in yourself. Stop asking how much you’ll be paid for every opportunity—focus on the experience and growth.”
She added that most companies post internship and voluntary opportunities not just to fill roles but to develop talent. “The ones who didn’t focus on money are the ones who are now happiest and most successful.”
According to Francisca, YouTube and online platforms offer countless free resources. “Don’t make excuses. Get the right training. Even my husband met a 52-year-old Indian man who started learning English and is now working toward becoming a doctor.”
She encouraged adults in their 40s and 50s to get serious about their lives. “You’re not too old to dream.”
Francisca shared how her own children started working part-time at age 16. “It teaches responsibility. I have four children—three have graduated college. One got a State Department internship and later worked at the German Embassy. By age 22, she already had six years of experience.”
Another child of hers became a CNA (Certified Nursing Assistant), worked at a hospital, and bought his first house at 20 years old. “He saved through internships, graduated with honors, and earned his master’s degree.”
Francisca advised parents to expose their kids to internships and practical training during high school so they don’t grow up feeling lost. “I learned from my American friends—they know how the system works.”
She concluded with a word of caution: “It’s painful to be approaching retirement and still supporting your grown children.”
Opportunities at Slamm Technology
Slamm Technology currently offers internships and job opportunities for both high school and university students—but only to those who have taken their training courses. “We only hire people in Ghana and the USA who have gone through Slamm Technology,” she noted.
