In this episode
In her own words, Rokeya Khanum has achieved the goals she once referred to as impossible acts.
Born to parents who moved from Bangladesh to East London, she was raised alongside her seven siblings and Rokeya has always been really honest about her childhood, opening up about her teen pregnancy at 17 years old where she was then made homeless, moving from hostel to hostel and barely affording the basic necessities.
Fast forward to the present day and Rokeya is founder of the luxury clothing brand Khanum’s. Rokeya shares her incredible origin story, from initially spotting a gap in the market, to generating six figures in 7 months, all from what she viewed as a side hustle.
Now stocked in Harvey Nichols, taking the Middle East by storm and turning over 7 figures, Rokeya shares her success story from hardship. She talks about how she was determined to turn it around and exactly how she did that, after her journey on becoming a teenage mother to then going back into education and going to university to study law to realising she couldn't study law because she couldn't afford the LPC. Then working for a few years before she found herself unemployed for 18 months which led to her starting Khanum's. It really is an incredible story.
After hearing this, Rokeya is proof that you can always come back stronger from setbacks and build a future you are very much proud of. As Rokeya says herself, she is “turning pain into power and shattering those f’ing glass ceilings.”

If you wanna be successful, you must take responsibility for your emotions, not place the blame on others. In addition to making you feel more guilty about your faults, pointing the finger at others will only serve to increase your sense of personal accountability. There's always a risk in every investment, yet people still invest and succeed. You must look outward if you wanna be successful in life...
Absolutely. Market success requires emotional maturity
The first step to successful investing is figuring out your goals and risk tolerance either on your own or with the help of a financial professional but is very advisable you make use of a professional
I trade as a side hustle while keeping my job. I'm tired of trading in losses myself. I've blown my account twice and it's frustrating. I see people making a living out of trading and I want to do the same. Please I need help can someone teach me how to trade?
the market is profiting if you are using a good broker or account manager to help out with trades or provide signals
So you guys know her too?... Wow, she made me have my own house and car. She is awesome
You never understand until you’re actually a mother in this situation. All you want is this best possible life for your child, and it’s devastating when you feel like you can’t make that happen.. Thank you for sharing!
This podcast is truly so inspiring. Coming from a working class family and also being an ethnic minority this touched me xx
A strong woman that for sure! Appreciate those people ❤️❤️
Yesss, I’ve always wanted Rokeya to do an interview so I can hear her story. I’ve followed her for ages on Instagram and honestly admire her for her incredible vision and work ethic. So inspiring!!

Is £400 for a jacket affordable though
Well, it’s a high end brand and it’s slow fashion, of course the price will be high end too.
@@humz122f3 I think the point is that yes high end slow fashion will cost a lot to make, and it's good she's providing it paying people fair wages, but she shouldn't promote it as miraculously 'affordable' when it isn't any more affordable to the average person than other high end brands.
“Successful” but still can not pronounce “because” properly 🤦🏻♀️
So she had a her child out of wedlock?
what’s your point??
@@mimieemmanuel9469 Not sure if you can see a question mark after my QUESTION asked. THUS NOT A POINT. Muppet.
I appreciate you sharing your story, it inspires me to trust my journey and make the best out of what life throws at me so that I can create the best life for my daughter. 🫶🏾🌹
