Her work has propelled the Nigerian fashion industry to become nationally and internationally recognised.In this episode, she spoke to us about how she went from lawyer to fashion pioneer, as well as the importance of resilience when facing challenges and how she’s come to realise that slow progress is as important as fast results.
