Have you ever prayed for something only to realize that God has already answered the prayer? A couple of weeks ago while I was planning and preparing for The Posh Up, I asked God to “send me my people.” I started blogging because I saw so many amazing brands based in West Africa that were producing stand out pieces and I thought that more people needed to see the beauty that I saw. I decided to start the Posh Up because I wanted to make these very pieces more accessible to the girls that loved the fashion coming from West Africa. With that said, my biggest challenge now is to find the girls like me, who will absolutely love what The Posh Up has to offer.
After having such an amazing experience with my pop up at Nubian Hueman, I realize that God has already answered my prayer in the form of Anika Hobbs, owner of @nubianhueman and her team. Nubian Human is more than a store, Anika has truly built a resource and network for black business owners, especially for those like me who believe in the importance and power of connecting Africa and it’s diaspora through the arts. She has been a lifeline for my business from the very start, as I made my first distribution orders to her and the Mocada Museum in New York after importing my very first products from Heel the World in Ghana, and an answered prayer because I am continually asking God to help me find my people along this journey. A million thanks Anika and it was so great to meet you Sola! ❤️
