Скачать или смотреть Super Model to Business Mogul: Belinda Baidoo on Discipline, Branding & Ghana Fashion (Pt. 2)

From Accra’s Malata Market to New York’s fashion engine, supermodel and entrepreneur Belinda Baidoo gets real about the discipline behind the glam—clean branding, agency life, gym, punctuality “9 is 9,” and the immigration path from H-1B → green card → U.S. citizen. We dive into what clients actually buy (your professionalism), why internships matter, and how to build a real fashion business in Ghana—fabric, artisans, pricing, and paying models fairly. If you’re chasing fashion, entrepreneurship, or diaspora dreams, this masterclass is for you.

In this episode:
NYC grind • agency letters & visas • behind-the-scenes discipline • loneliness & health • boutiques in Accra • Top Model Africa mentoring • value chain (fabric → label → boutique) • pay models right • support local businesses • how to think like a builder, not just a face.
