This episode is dear to my heart! Not only do I get to talk to a woman who I consider a friend but also one of the people that keeps pushing me when it comes to the podcast world! On today’s episode I speak to fellow Congolese babe Violette Kimona, founder of the platform CNC- Congo Network Creative. Myself and Violette take you back to our Uni days, we both studied Fashion Promotions. 

We get real on our PERSONAL experiences within the Fashion industry. The good, the bad and the Racist! What fashion looked like 10 years ago for two young black women entering the industry. 

My guest also goes through her career journey within The fashion industry. Roles including fashion pr, buyer and also fashion recruitment. 

Tune in to hear us discuss what it means to be a British Congolese women and how we want to see it changed for the next generation. Its a good one! P.s we are not loud we are passionate ( Periodt )
