I met the phenomenal Wandia Gichuru two years ago at a business conference. It was immediately clear she wasn’t just another entrepreneur; she was built for global impact. Today, she’s taking African culture, products, and identity to the world stage, proving our stories belong everywhere.

This conversation delves deep into:

Her remarkable entrepreneurial journey and early inspirations (Learn about her background and career transition)
The real sacrifices and setbacks involved in building a global brand.
The strategic decisions behind the international expansion of her business, VIVO Fashion, include vertical integration.
Lessons on perseverance, authenticity, and her vision for African fashion.
It takes sheer will and bold leadership to make a global mark.
This isn't just a story; it's a masterclass for anyone looking to understand the realities of international business expansion, startup growth, and African entrepreneurship. If Wandia Gichuru can take her vision global, what barriers can you break?
