Entrepreneur launches insurance platform
Story 1
Junior Mlondobuzi a young entrepreneur from South Africa is changing how small businesses get insurance.
He is the founder of Entresure, a digital insurance platform made for small businesses.
After working in the insurance industry for nine years, he saw a gap in the market.
Junior Says, Many small business owners were not getting insurance, not because they didn’t care, but because the system was too hard to understand,
Mlondobuzi started Entresure to address this problem and to make insurance simple, affordable, and easy to access.
The platform helps business owners get the right cover.
It works online and gives quotes based on your type of business.
Entresure offers cover for things like business interruption, liability, asset protection, professional mistakes, and cyber risks.

Keri Hilson drops a new album
Story 3
Grammy-nominated R&B star Keri Hilson is making a big comeback with her new album We Need to Talk, which will be released on Friday, April 18.
This is her first full album in over a decade, since No Boys Allowed in 2010.
The album included hits like “Pretty Girl Rock” and “One Night Stand” with Chris Brown. Hilson has also worked with big artists like Kanye West, J. Cole, and Nelly.

Hilson says this project brings a fresh sound and a new artistic direction.
In a recent interview, she spoke honestly about past challenges, including the fallout from a leaked remix of “Turnin' Me On” that many thought was aimed at Beyoncé.
Hilson said she didn’t write those lyrics and didn’t want to record them, but was pressured into it.
Supporters have filled social media with love and excitement about her return. Some are hoping for a long track list, while others say her music makes them feel strong and inspired.
