April by Kunbi founder reveals secrets of success

Tell us a little about yourself. How were your growing up years?

To the grace of God, I grew up quite privileged within the warm embrace of a Christian home and a loving family. With access to a solid education, I was able to explore my interests, and was taught values such as kindness, honesty, and respect for others. So, though I enjoyed privileges I was also taught the importance of humility and using my blessings to make a positive impact on the lives of others.

What’s your educational background? Did you one day just start designing clothes or did you acquire some formal training?

I attended Maryhill Convent School in Ibadan for my primary education. Then I attended St Louis Grammar School and Babcock University High School for secondary. I then got admission into Babcock University where I obtained a Bachelor’s degree in Mass Communication. A few years later, I attended the Fashion Institute of technology in New York to study Fashion Design. Acquiring formal training is essential in many fields and I’m grateful for the discipline that attending Babcock University instilled in me.
