Our Guest Is: Christine Eruokwu

Our Guest Is introduces us to a resilient group of people typically grouped together under the term immigrants, but perhaps better described as entrepreneurs, community builders, and survivors. On today's episode, we meet Christine Eruokwu, founder and owner of Kaima Designs, an African-inspired clothing brand that prioritizes poverty reduction through girl-child education and women empowerment initiatives in West Africa. Christine talks about her journey to New Brunswick as an international MBA student, her mission in starting Kaima Designs in 2017, and co-founding United Colours of Fashion (UCOF). Christine mentors international students, sits on the board of three non-profits in Saint John, and in 2023 she was named one of the Most Inspiring Immigrants in Atlantic Canada.
