I have had the privilege of serving as a consultant for the Ministry of Tourism in Anambra, Nigeria, where I provide expertise in the realm of tourism and strategies for engaging with American tourists. My journey into this role began with a profound and inspiring exploration of Nigeria's most prominent tourist destinations, as well as the hidden gems that often go unnoticed. However, my mission transcended mere exploration; it was a deep-seated commitment to uplifting the local economy through the transformative power of tourism. This endeavor has not only increased the visibility of Anambra's tourism offerings but has also emphasized the importance of tourism as a vital source of income for the local community. 

I 2018, I had the privilege of co-sponsoring the Entrepreneur Africa Awards, an experience that allowed me to forge connections with a remarkable group of industrious and visionary entrepreneurs from Africa. This engagement has since motivated me to actively collaborate in connecting these talented individuals with like-minded American entrepreneurs who share similar projects and aspirations.

I actively seek out fabric and other goods from African factories to supply American-based distributors. The butterfly emblem serves as a seal of authenticity, proudly signifying that the products we represent are crafted in Africa, by the skilled hands of African artisans. I used my corporate marketing training to skillfully design, print, and craft all branding materials, effectively showcasing African-made fabric to captivate American buyers.

I participate in and collaborate with conferences and trade shows to establish connections with distributors and fabric buyers for my African-based factories. In 2018, I dedicated 12 days to networking and engaging with attendees at the Houston International Quilt Market, an event that draws an annual average of over 50,000 individuals seeking to purchase or sell fabric.

I collaborate with fabric producers in Nigeria, encompassing both machine-made and hand-made products, facilitating their connections with American distributors. To ensure the highest quality and standards, I personally visited each factory before representing them.

We have partnered with a distinguished individual known for his extensive travels, during which he has conducted traditional naming ceremonies for individuals seeking African names. In collaboration with him, we offer an enriching experience that encompasses the exploration of cultural history, personalized naming ceremonies, and an annual river festival held in Anambra, Nigeria. Together, we aim to celebrate and preserve the rich traditions and heritage of this vibrant region.

My father operates a school located in Anambra, Nigeria. Our ongoing efforts are dedicated to nurturing the school's development and providing support to both the students and their parents within the community.

In 2014, I founded Sassy Tall Girls, marking my debut in the world of entrepreneurship.
