I was born in Cross River State, southern part of Nigeria. We were a large family, seventh of nine kids. Growing up in such a large family is not easy in Africa but my parents always taught me to have faith and be respectful to people. I lost my dad prematurely and I had to fight to survive. My mom used to be a tailor / multi-business woman so as a child, I enjoyed dressing myself up with beautiful and colorful cloths, although I did not feel it as a real passion yet. I believe it was a puzzle of fortunate coincidences, a perfect mix of being exposed to different places and cultures where I lived, which opened up my mind and vision to a multicultural and evolving world. Finally when I lived in Italy, I discovered my passion for fashion and I had the opportunity to educate myself as a designer. I'm Nigerian-Italian, and I have lived in Africa, Europe, Asia and the Middle East. Living in different countries has exposed me to different cultures and had enriched my life with fascinating stories and experiences.
My days are always full of new things because I bridge tradition and trend. I try not to get lost in what is “in“ currently, but maintain my true originality without losing my identity. My passion came from the Holy Spirit and He helped me discover who I am! My roots are all expressed through my creator, color, joy, emotion, sentiment, soul and dream, but most of my inspiration came from my personal relationship with my Lord and savior.
I grew with a very strong sense of business since I started selling various things at the age of five. Business has been a family affair, but I've always wished to have my own. After graduating from fashion school in Milan (Institute di Burgo), I started to make clothes for myself and friends, and in time, gained some clients. This appreciation in my work gave me trust and energy to expand my professional experience.
In 2014, I had explored creating cosmetic products at home. I have been always a creator; crafting solutions to my own needs is innate in me. I have enrolled in Centre of Excellence to finally dip my toes in the world of cosmetics and product development. Eventually, I have decided to join School of Natural Skincare International to specialize in learning the correct techniques in crafting safe and effective cosmetics, apart from choosing the best ingredients and packaging it in a way that helps preserve the quality of the product.
After all of the training, I am launching my new business - my new cosmetics line.
I am motivated to create a sustainable product line that will perform exactly what it say it does - promote healthier hair and skin. I believe that my mission is to promote the healthier version of ourselves so we can feel more confident in pursuing our purpose in this life. When we feel more confident with how we look, we feel more empowered in impacting more lives.
