Our Story
In the late summer of 2024, I returned to Nigeria, my native homeland. While traveling to my village of Enugu, I encountered a powerful image: a pregnant woman carrying a baby on her back, while balancing a bucket of water on her head. The sight was jarring, reminding me of the daily burdens many women face in rural Nigeria. I thought about how life-changing it would be to have access to clean water through strategically placed faucets. The benefits would be immense—convenience, improved hygiene, and disease prevention.
Upon returning to the U.S., I brought back more than two dozen dresses designed and tailored by my talented sister and her team. The compliments were overwhelming—friends, strangers, and even business associates wanted to know how they could purchase similar pieces. That’s when the idea struck me: Why not start a clothing line with a mission? It could serve three purposes:
-
A portion of sales could be donated to fund boreholes (wells) for clean water in Nigerian villages.
-
The business could provide more work and financial support for the five tailors who crafted the clothing, helping them sustain their families.
-
It would offer my friends and acquaintances access to beautiful dresses through an online store based in Richmond.
-
I'm launching this clothing line that celebrates my Nigerian heritage, with proceeds supporting clean water initiatives in Enugu. This heartfelt endeavor is about giving back and creating opportunities for others.
