Summary
On this episode of The Girl CEO Podcast, we are getting inside the head of a fashion entrepreneur who is currently blowing up – and with good reason! With her sumptuous designs, Anifa Mvuemba has caught the eye of everyone from Beyoncé to Naomi Campbell to Sarah Jessica Parker to Michelle Obama. And she’s sharing the secrets to her success – professional and personal – with Host Ronne Brown in this very personal conversation about how Anifa’s successful company, Hanifa, came to be and what has made it such a phenomenon. You’ll learn about this fashion visionary’s journey from college drop-out selling retail at Nordstrom’s to toast of the internet, displaying her designs at Nordstrom’s while being honored by Vogue Magazine!

She’s sharing with Ronne advice for women who aspire to start their own businesses, including the importance of self-care and knowing when it’s time to bring experts into the mix. Whether you’re talking financial management, manufacturing, customer service, social media presence or sourcing materials, Anifa has been hands-on at every stage of Hanifa’s organic development.
