I'm Ready!

the Fashion Africa Membership club

It is not about what you know but about WHO you know!

This proves hugely important in the fashion industry and even more in Africa. To navigate the sourcing landscape of Africa’s fashion and textile industry you need a network, a community and partners.

One of the many challenges I hear creative entrepreneurs say when they enter Africa is that they are doing it alone and don’t know where to start. They need people and RELIABLE support.

That is why I am inviting you to become part of the FAMILY.

This is for you if:

  • you’re a creative and entrepreneur seeking to produce fashion products in Africa.
  • you desire to expand your African sourcing strategy and don’t know how.
  • you feel overwhelmed with where to produce in Africa and you feel lost in finding reliable partners to work with in Africa. 
  • you’ve already tried to start, but your endeavours never got past the “idea phase” because you lacked the steps and a strategy
  • you’re just learning about entering Africa and feel overwhelmed by all its 54 countries
  • you’re seeking insights and community support because of you are tired of going it alone
  • you’re concerned because you do not have any fashion experience, background or industry contacts

Sometimes, you wonder if it’s even possible for you!

This is not for you if:

  • you are content where you are at and do not wish to move your business forward.
  • you do NOT want to start a fashion business in Africa
  • you are not willing to invest financially into your business
  • you cannot commit to regular training support
  • you would rather take the recommendations of your family and friends over industry experts

You are content staying stuck!

In case we haven’t met yet… Hi, I’m Jacqueline …

I AM A PUBLISHED AUTHOR, AN INDUSTRY PROFESSIONAL FASHION DESIGNER WITH EXPERIENCE LIVING AND WORKING IN CHINA, TURKEY, GERMANY AND THE UK. I AM AN INTERNATIONAL PUBLIC SPEAKER, A VISITING LECTURER, AN AFRICAN DEVELOPMENT PROFESSIONAL AND A SOURCING AGENT AND I AM PROUD TO BE YOUR African Fashion Business Coach!

My unique African journey started in 2009 when I embarked on a journey I would never have imagined. I travelled to to Ghana to explore my heritage from Africa to the Caribbean and I experienced a life and culture that simply hit home…I was literally home. I returned and began my Masters in Ethical Fashion now with a focus on Africa and I set up my own clothing label.
But this ended disastrously.
I got ripped off by my tailor who ran off with my patterns, trims and samples and I had the police involved.
WHY? because i never implemented my learnings during my career.
Because I never had the right connections.
Because I never had a business coach.

Because I took recommendations from a friend.

Because I worked with a 1-1 tailor by the roadside.
Since then i have developed a 6-step blueprint system that prevents such happening again and my clients use it today to export as much as 4000 pieces from Africa to their home country. This system is now open for you to use, to rinse and repeat so you can SOURCE, SAMPLE and SELL with ease!  
You are in the right place if you are a Designer, Brand or Creative Entrepreneur with a heart to IMPACT Africa and wish to build a sustainable fashion made in Africa business, but struggling with the HOW, the WHERE, the WHAT, your WHY and WHO with.

This is why I created…The F.A.MILY
