There is no doubt that African fashion has infiltrated the fashion industry. The online marketplace Zuvaa has influenced the business in a very positive way and the genius behind the company is Kelechi Anyadiegwu. Anyadiegwu has been featured on CNN, Madame Noire, Forbes, and other various media outlets.
On October 22nd and 23rd, Zuvaa came to Detroit for the first time. Zuvaa regularly holds pop-up shops around the nation several times a year, as a way to interact offline with their customers. I had the chance to work as a brand ambassador for Obioma. Obioma was just one of the many brands that made their way to Detroit. It was a pleasure to see that many Detroiters are so enthusiastic about African fashion.
