Profile
I have had a deep relationship with fabrics mainly textile due to my background. My paternal grandfather was the Director of UAC, Cote D’Ivoire, of which my father became the general manager. My paternal grandmother, herself, a fashionista and an admirable merchant of fabrics. My maternal grandparents, dealt in trade similarly but in crops and farming .
It is no coincidence that I, as the founder, have a deep love for the beautiful and intentionally designed patterns of fabrics that originate from Africa and Commerce.
I have a Bsc. in Nursing and have gone on to acquire knowledge through apprenticeship and online courses in Fashion, Leadership and Marketing.
The idea behind building a legacy is to reach diverse audiences and encourage young women through my gifts and knowledge given by God Almighty and my lineage.
I seek to empower the upcoming generation of women on the vast possibilities available to us if only we set our minds to it, place a purpose on gifts and learn.
