“A few months after I took the course, I started working on my business plan, branding, etc. Within a year, I had launched my brand Raffia Atelier, which is almost 5 years old now. We have been stocked in 4 countries and we have customers all over the world. In 2016, I was featured in Teen Vogue as one of 12 Ghanaian designers to know. Raffia has evolved and continues to make strides in the fashion world and it all started with the FAB workshop!”

“The FAB workshops really helped me learn more about production, sourcing, logistics, and the positive progression of fashion on the continent but specifically for my interest in Kenya. I made a number of very useful connections and contacts, and went from being a struggling lost designer in the UK, to working at a factory in Kenya for a few months, experiencing all they could offer, applying my knowledge to assist them, and also what that could mean for producing my own designs in Kenya!”

“The FAB course is a great introductory to anyone looking to get involved in sourcing consumer goods on the African continent. I'd recommend this course to anyone that is aspiring or ready to take a deep -dive into sourcing from the African continent!”
