My Friend was the inspiration behind me starting my brand - CEO Crochet Creations
By Kemi Mobuse - May 24, 2016
Having a friend, who believes so much in you, even when you don;t have faith in yourself is always a special Blessing and a Privilege. Because, those friends are the ones, who sees for you, when you are blind to your own talents and abilities. They are the ones, who sees greatness in You, even when you have nothing doing. If you are lucky, to have such, as I am too, hold on to them, and appreciate them, because, those are the ones you need to help you grow always.
Mrs Maryanne Olawumi the CEO of Crochet Creations was really lucky in this aspect, as she shared in her interview with KMB, excerpts below;

Starting out for me was very very tough, but my passion kept me going - CEO Bodyart Couture
By Kemi Mobuse - May 22, 2016
Being a Fashion Designer is a highly rewarding job. There’s an amazing sense of accomplishment and joy seeing your final product on people and in stores. It’s very hands on, fast paced, and mentally challenging (in a good way), and when you find your niche it’s all the more enjoyable. Within Fashion, they are so many categories to chose from, all depending on what you want to do. As a Fashion Designer, your main responsibilities are to research future trends (sometimes forecasting up to 1 1/2 years in advance), design a product for your niche market, source the materials to create the product, and finally help communicate your vision to transform it into a physical garment.
Jolaosho, the CEO of Bodyart couture, didn't find it easy either. She chronicled her journey for us in the interview she had with KMB. Excepts below:

This old Ballad by Frank Sinatra about New York often makes me think of Lagos and what folks see when they head towards the big city of bustling lights and restless spirits.
Most people look at Lagos and see a city with unending traffic, impatient and busy citizens, crushing population and an oversaturation of business ideas and they’ll be right. But with large populations and big city lifestyles come big business opportunities that if done properly are sure to be moneymakers. Here are a few ideas:

Our brand is aimed to deliver high quality MADE IN NIGERIA goods - Founding partner at Anne Li Unique Ideas
By Kemi Mobuse - May 19, 2016
Getting quality and affordable clothing, bedding and stuffs for kids in Nigeria before, is usually like, looking for a needle in a hay sack. Thank God, however, for the Made in Nigeria campaign, more and more entrepreneurs are springing up daily from all the nooks and crannies of the country. It was really obvious that; building a brand around kids is actually one of the things Nigeria needs the most.
Luckily for us though, Always Me By Anne Li is one of the few brands, created solely to cater for the needs of Children. KMB got the chance to interview one of the founding partners and she educated more about what her brand is about, excepts below:

It is hard to explain to others what it is like to have
hearing loss — the lack of clarity in speech, the sensitivity to loud noise,
and the exhaustion that comes with heavy bursts of communication. It is an
invisible disability so it is often misunderstood, downplayed or even ignored
— sometimes even by those closest to you. But it can have a huge impact on your
life, and the lives of those who love you.
Here are the five things I wish everyone understood about
hearing loss. Please add your thoughts in the comments.
This week on #StartupStories, we caught up with Oscar Peter, a 22 year old shoe manufacturer/designer based in Kaduna state, Nigeria. He shared some of the inspiration behind his brand Oscar Shoes with me and it is definitely an interesting one...do enjoy!

Making Yummy, Dessert-Like soap is what I do; the Garri Scrub, so named because; It is made from Garri is my Favourite!..... - CEO Bath Kandy
By Kemi Mobuse - May 18, 2016
I have to admit something… I love soaps that look like
things other than soap. Like food or flowers or animals or
toys. I’ve seen soap shaped as fruit or cupcakes. It’s so
cute and clever and yeah, a little corny, but I like corny. I have especially always loved all kinds of food, but I have a special weakness for sweets. I
even love pictures of food. And since I have a wicked sweet tooth, I
especially love colorful, gorgeous desserts. I love them SO much that I
could almost marry a Dessert cake or a chocolate
éclair! Although I’m not sure I could stay faithful. . So, you
can imagine my reaction, when I came across Bathkandy's page on Instagram; I
fell in Love hard and started pursuing the poor woman.
I see, she too loved being pursued, Lol! Cuz she granted an
enlightening interview to KMB, dishing out details about her brand and yummy
products...Go check it out yourself ,C'mon!
