Hi, I'm Marianne (but I have a huge amount of nicknames...don't ask!) You can call me Em! 😉 I am the owner of a Sandwich Shop in Mossel Bay, in the beautiful Garden Route of South Africa! I am busy with so many things right now... stabilising my sandwich business, desperately attempting to be consistent in my digital marketing business, waiting on my fiancé to join me after more than a year apart (he'll be here in 7 days) and then finally "settling down" (up?) for a change! Why I joined The AVA Collective? To sort out my verrry deurmekaar head, make sense of so many unknowns in my life and learn to never again drop a ball while I'm juggling my beautiful, random and adventurous life! 😁 I'm a multi-talented, outspoken, all over the place, what-you-see-is-what-you-get kinda girl, with a huge heart, filled to the brim with Jesus Christ! I have 2 amazing children and 2 amazing grandchildren whom I'm completely in love with! I'm a good business(wow)man and I KNOW I can help other small business owners to STOP PLAYING SMALL! It is I! 😁
