Esperance Ndombe
Hey, y'all, It's a pleasure to introduce myself. My name is Esperance, but I also go by Espe, which sounds like an "SP." I was born in Rhode Island and raised in New Hampshire in New England's Northeast region. At the University of New Hampshire, I went to college in Durham, NH, and studied Recreation Management & Policy with minors in Business Administration & Hospitality Management. In the summer of 2011, I decided to move to California for AmeriCorps and found myself in volunteer community service for two years in Watsonville, CA. I'm a full-time digital marketer entrepreneur and created websites with Black 2 Afri, going through a name change to Afri.Energy, Wild 4 Bamboo, and Earthian Digital Marketing. I received my master's degree in Digital Marketing from Concordia College and gained experience freelancing on Upwork in April 2020 and started my own digital marketing business at Earthian Digital Marketing.
