“While growing up in Lagos, Nigeria, Mariam felt the need to empower women and she saw so many children whose realities were even worse than what she had been through. She had a burning desire: to create a brand inspire independent, victorious, fearless women.
Her previous career as a banker had instilled in her a keen awareness of how women are viewed and she was passionate about dispelling the myth that luxury fashion is solely reserved for Western cultures. She recognized the dearth of luxury African fashion brands and was determined to create one that did not compromise on quality.
Mariam moved to the United states to start a family about half a decade ago and learnt how to sew in a month. Through sewing, she was able to pay for her MBA and she is inspiring women to go after their dreams.
