Hi linners!

When we think of bold women, so many names come to mind — women who show up unapologetically, break boundaries, and accelerate action. This International Women’s Month, we’re celebrating them.

Yesterday, we had the honour of attending the Bold Brunch by APNI, and the room was filled with exactly that kind of energy. Black women from different industries gathered to share stories, ideas, and their visions for a more equitable future. We set up an Umoja linn stall, connected with incredible women, and grew our waitlist of people excited to see the future of African fashion take shape. If you signed up — welcome to the family!

#BoldWomenWeAdmire

But let’s get into it — when we talk about bold women breaking boundaries globally, here’s who we’re thinking of:

Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie — Bold in her words and her style, using storytelling to challenge norms and inspire change.

Bozoma Saint John — A marketing maverick bringing culture, creativity, and authenticity into every room she enters.

Temi Marcella — Investing in African innovation and empowering entrepreneurs to dream bigger.

Dr. Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala — Leading the WTO with brilliance and vision, proving African women belong at every global table.

Edima Inyang - first female president of the African Professional Network Ireland, connecting, empowering and fostering collaboration between professionals of African descent in Ireland.


🫵🏽 YOU! — Yes, you. The creators, designers, professionals, and dreamers showing up every day with boldness and vision.

The Future of African Fashion is Bold 🚀
