Too often, success is celebrated without acknowledging the cost. Many women build incredible careers yet quietly wrestle with how to stay true to themselves.

In this week’s episode, we sit down with entrepreneur and strategist Alessandra Madubunyi, founder of WE are COCO — a global consultancy helping fashion brands grow without compromising their values. Alessandra began her career at the British Fashion Council, working with emerging designers like Erdem and Christopher Kane, before launching her own consultancy that now connects hundreds of experts and retailers worldwide.

Named Entrepreneur of the Year at the Black British Business Awards and recognised as a LinkedIn Top Voice, Alessandra shares what it takes to build a business that reflects both ambition and authenticity. From leaving a six-figure life abroad to starting again from scratch, her story is a masterclass in conviction, resilience and redefining success on your own terms.

What if the version of success that feels right is also the one that lasts?

Listen as our co-hosts Ruth Yimika Afolabi and Sinead Minkah sit down with Alessandra Madubunyi for Ep 87: Building a Business That Aligns With Your Values.
