Trusting The Process

I had the pleasure of meeting with powerhouse and ultimate go-getter, Olamide Bada. After studying Law at SOAS, completing her Post-grad at the University of Law and going on to land a role at international law firm, Baker McKenzie, Olamide packed up her bags (and law career) and took to Nigeria for 2 years to take on the world of business. Here she quickly rose from SWAT Team Manager at Jumia Nigeria to Managing Director of Jumia Food; miles from her humble beginnings in London. For her work at Jumia Food, Olamide has since been featured by Bella Naija as their #BellaNaijaWCW and was awarded the Prize for Professional Service at The Future Awards Africa in 2017. We sat down to talk about creating a seat at the table, being your full self in a corporate environment and the realities of moving back "home".

I had the pleasure of meeting the delightfully talented Cherelle Brown, founder of Kitsch Noir - a quirky, fun and contemporary line of cards which champions the voice of the underrepresented, celebrating the love and enjoyment of the black British experience.

A must-listen for anyone with a budding business idea.

In the second instalment of Trusting The Process, I sit down to talk with none other than the intelligent and infectiously hilarious chef/baker/marketing babe Michelle Marbie Davies. We shed some more light on Michelle's career journey so far, navigating life after loss, shooting your shot/how she met Adekunle Bae and together we free the realness on our experiences of dating Christian men and why a change has got to come (word to Sam Cooke).
