I was born and raised in Nigeria. My parents owned a local restaurant and petty trading business where I learnt to sell at the age of 5.
When I graduated from college, I stumbled on a business opportunity but my parents didn’t like the idea of me doing business with a bachelor’s degree after I graduated from college. As a woman, they preferred me working in an office. I worked a 40 hour week job for over 18 years as a civil servant before coming to the US in late 2008. As a civil servant, I still made out time to sell clothing and fashion accessories on the side, as such I was usually called upon by customers to supply them with appropriate apparel for special occasions such as weddings and other celebrations.
As an immigrant in America, I have worked in Macy’s and Walmart. Now I’m creating a clothing line through which I hope to achieve the American dream doing what I enjoy most, maximizing my God given potential in designing and creating a clothing line and fashion accessories through Annekara.com (Feminine Labels & Kuline from masculine). Annekara.com is a new clothing line with fusion of West African and Western designs for men and women. Kachi’s Clothing Line is established with a commitment to hard work and dedication. We hope to create an enduring fashion niche in America and elsewhere through our unique designs.
When you contribute to the business, you are helping to rent a shop, buy inventory to meet with customers’ demands. I am counting on you to move this dream forward. God bless you.
