Vivian Ozoemena, a seasoned Nigerian entrepreneur with a passion for sportswear — Lionesses of Africa
What inspired you to start your company?
My love for sports gave me this inspiration. I love clothes and a little touch of mixture brings excitement to me so I thought I should bring this blend into the sporting industry and turn things up. Indeed, it was a welcomed idea that has taken me far.
Why should anyone use your service or product?
Every business is special but mine is unique because as a team, we always leave our clients asking for more, and guess what, we always give more. Our designs are top notch and ‘one of a kind’ to suit every customer’s fashion needs. We do not disappoint. We are literally at every customer’s beck and call. In fact, we have been nicknamed by most clients, “Pick and Go”. Lol!
Tell us a little about your team
My team is made up of great minds. One from Pakistan who is the designer, and the other two consisting of a marketer and a business partner who have been my backbone since inception. I can say that they are God sent and I couldn’t have made it this far without them.
Share a little about your entrepreneurial journey. And do you come from an entrepreneurial background?
I was born into a family of entrepreneurs. My father was a successful big businessman dealing in the FMCG business sector and my mother was a businesswoman dealing in the sale of imported female shoes at the time. Growing up, I helped with sales once in a while and developed good sales and marketing skills which earned me my first job as a Sales Executive in a FMCG company after graduation. This experience began my entrepreneurial journey. Though I failed a lot of times transitioning from one business venture to another, I never gave up on my vision.
