  • She left the 9-5 to Build a Clothing Company With $500 in Lagos is another subset of my promoting African Entrepreneur series called "Small Business Stories" where I feature black owned companies all across Africa who have built successful businesses and they tell us how they did it.
    Over the past couple months I have shared stories of different African entrepreneurs who have been able to build big successful businesses despite the numerous challenges on our continent.
    I believe small business are also as important to our economy which is why over the next 3 weeks I will be featuring 6 small businesses on this new series on my channel called “Small Business Stories”.
    Today's episode is Kunmi who is a Nigerian entrepreneur who is currently on a journey to building a successful brand in the Fashion Industry. She tells us about how she was able to build her business in Lagos, Nigeria while taking us through some of the challenges she has faced on her entrepreneurial journey.
    She also shows us how she has been able to leverage the internet to grow her business.
    I hope you guys will enjoy this one because I’m pretty excited to share these stories with you. Do Watch like and Enjoy.

    Really glad Tayo is showcasing this for the world to see.
    I hope she does well and get a few investors to move the brand forward.
    I also dream of having a country where the government embraces the SMEs and get our textile industries up and running.
    A good textile industry would make raw materials cheap and more clothes to make.
    Keep it up.

      ​@@deeafrica4782I am a Zambian and it is Nigerians that inspire me the most. I have never seen a people like them. I am in the process of starting my own business and it is Nigerians that motivate me the most. They are go getters, very determined, very driven, very very confident hardworking and aim for the best of the best.... They have a saying that Nigerians will not come last and I like that.... If only the rulers would appreciate what a talented population they have, they would build all the necessary infrastructure required. The Nigerians are unique and a class apart.

      She would have to mass produce in order to support those brand stores. She would definitely have to expand in order to keep up with production. That step she would probably need an investor to help her expand capacity to keep up with those brand stores demands. That would help her grow. That's a good idea though.

However, besides the environment, we must deal with the fundamentals (most definitely spiritual) that are holding them back. It is Karmic, believe it or not and I am working on it, as we spk. Kunmi, what a great Brand/Name!! May the Universe always inspire you all the more, that you may serve and be renumerated accordingly and beyond. Stay (even more) Blessed, Great Soul!!! Much love.
