Black History Month 2024 take
one in our culture there's a term called
Ubuntu and it's about Humanity it's
about helping each other as a community
we
say I am because we are and that
inherent belief in shared Humanity in
interconnectivity is just Central to my
ethos as a person and also in business
[Music]
I am of cameronian descent and we're
really focused on community and so
that's really meant that whenever I I've
thought about launching a business or
thought about what value my business
would bring it was always people
Center growing up in a family business
was very interesting what I remember
most is you never get Summers off I
think because the business is quite
Diversified it gave me an outlook on
different businesses um what it takes to
run a business hard work dedication in
terms of my perspectives I was always
looking at owning my own business
growing
up my dad started this business it's a
plastic manufacturing business back in
Nigeria and I remember when he started
it he poured his heart into it and I
think as I've seen this business grow
it's been really amazing to see the jobs
that have been provided to other people
back in Nigeria because of this business
my grandmother and my father and and my
family we actually started a business
because there was a need because in
apartate South Africa people couldn't
get supplies so we stood up and said
here I am let me try and do something
for the community now as I operate in
business it's actually for me really
important to support other entrepreneurs
so I actually Angel invest in other
entrepreneurs that I see and I believe
in the problems they're trying to
solve my advice to young black
entrepreneurs is being yourself you have
to be unbelievably passionate about the
thing that you're creating because it's
going to be hard so care about the thing
as much as you care about yourself and
build something that makes you happy to
talk about it with your friends and
family when I moved to the UK I lost my
dad at the start of it and everything
that I had plan to do when I get to the
UK including learning more about
business so I could make him proud and
start my own business it's something
that's propelled me to not give up I
think about the things he's taught me
and I'm very proud of the legacy is Left
Behind because it makes me who I am it
makes me dream bigger than myself
[Music]
