African Women’s Entrepreneurship Programmeis: Its a wrap
.jpg)
This picture was taken on the last day of the African
Women’s Entrepreneurship Programme during the awarding of certificates. Looking
back it is amazing how far the Madam Wokie brand has come and I can’t help but feel
like I could not have come so far if not for my supportive family, friends and
staff (Love to the Wilson’s, Kaikai's and Forster’s....). I know some are mad at me, but "ar
feeba" me Grandpa and Papa wae men me so ar beg pardon! When working and running your business you
sometimes get so caught up, you don't a have life and everyone takes the back seat.
It’s not intentional, I am sorry...
Thanks to my Madam Wokie customers for being loyal to the
brand even when my tailors act up sometimes, they are themselves young men
growing up and without their input we would not be climbing the ladder of
success.
A big shout out to
my cousin Massah KaiKai, who works tirelessly to keep the Madam Wokie flame
burning in the US; my favourite photographer Mambu, thank you so much my sisters
Musu, Wokie and Zulaikha for just being there even though I drive them crazy,
and of course my brother Budus for helping me argue with the tailors when my
voice runs out. Also thank you to Bani, my account at large who I never listen,
and my manager Pam who keeps the flame burning while I am away.
Above all thank you to the African Women’s Entrepreneurship
Programme for this amazing opportunity, it was such an incredible experience
