Amy Iheakanwa, founder of the direct-to-consumer label, Shekudo, is a sustainable and slow fashion footwear and accessories label that has been featured in mags like Vogue and Grazia.  

The brand collaborates with Nigerian artisans and craftsmen that honour traditional production and manufacturing techniques... some that are over 500 years old.

You'll learn:

• Why Amy uprooted her Sydney life to move to Africa’s fastest growing city, Lagos
• How she employs local Nigerian women to handmake every single item she sells
• Why she turned down an order for 10,000 units that would have transformed her biz overnight
• Getting into the pages of Vogue and Grazia mags
• The deeper purpose behind the brand – to empower local women to learn skills they can actually be paid for
