Ep 177 | Bringing Nigeria to the East Bay

With its bright colors and intricate patterns, Nigerian fashion is very distinct in how it represents its homeland and its history. Our guest today is Ifanfunke Lola Oladigbolu, owner of Lola's African Apparel. Lola immigrated to America when she was 8 years old, and eventually settled in Berkeley. Today, we talk to Lola about her journey to America, and her desire to share her culture with the community around her.
