This episode is a conversation with Nigerian Fashion Journalist Elvis Kachi. Kachi has been published in many magazines and news outlets including Vanity Teen, BBC, Guardian, BusinessDay Nigeria, Essence, and Quartz to name a few. His reporting focuses on conversations with fashion designers whose work is changing the stereotypical ideologies of African fashion and breaking gendered norms. Most recently, Kachi's work highlighted how transgender Nigerians could be jailed for cross-dressing if a proposed bill becomes law. The amendment – currently in parliament – would make it illegal for a person to wear clothes that do not match their gender assigned at birth. This episode is published to coincide with African Fashion Week Season with Legos Fashion Week taking place on October 26-29, 2022. Please join me as talk with Elvis from his home in Lagos, Nigeria. We talk about his journey to becoming a fashion journalist, African fashion designers, and the restrictive Nigerian culture on gender and sexuality.

The Black Experience is filled with truths, triumphs, and pure black joy! Many times we tell stories through fashion however, over the years the business of fashion and access towards Designers of Color has been a struggle. As we conclude #BlackHistoryMonth we are reminded of the tapestry deep woven in the roots of African Fashion. It ignites passion. It restores hope. It connects the global world through the intrinsic fabric of our lives. We recently sat down with Founder: Yema Khalif Yema grew up in Kibera slums (the largest slum in Africa) in Nairobi Kenya. Co-Founder Hawi Awash is a native of Ethiopia and was a refugee in Kenya before moving to Minnesota, and at the age of 11, she was recognized by the state of Minnesota for her outstanding community work and received an award from Kevin Spacey. She started modeling at age 11 and through modeling, was able to raise money and then send the money raised to Ethiopian women in Rural Ethiopia every year. This empowered these rural women in starting small-scale businesses. She has a Bachelor's Degree in Pre-med and Humanities with a minor in Public Health because she is passionate about working with vulnerable communities. Having once been a refugee and she knows first hand what having nothing feels like”. 20% of everything a customer purchases on the website directly goes to orphaned kids in Ethiopia and Kibera slums in Kenya.

African culture and content is taking over the world - from Afrobeats and amapiano, to Nollywood and Netflix originals, to fashion. To what degree can Africans monetize their creativity not only on the continent but globally? To what extent can Africans, as owners of culture and intellectual property, participate in the upside? And if content has been largely an export product, to date, how do *we* develop the local creator ecosystem, as well?05:11 - A brief history of the creator economy. From aggregation theory to 1000 true fans.07:59 - We start with the platforms, and TikTok's Boniswa Sidwaba.11:11 - A challenge with creator monetization for African creators is the value of their audience to an advertiser. We hear from YouTuber Tayo Aina, with a cameo from another YouTuber, Hank Green.15:33 - Because of limited monetization opportunities from the platforms directly, creators ink brand partnerships and sell direct to their audience. 19:49 - The challenge with monetizing an audience directly in a market like Nigeria is the poor macroeconomic situation. So content remains largely an export product, says Iroko's Jason Njoku. 23:17 - But the local fanbase is still incredibly important, and the local infrastructure still needs to be built.

About the host: Fadel Jaoui, an economist, started this podcast to celebrate African entrepreneurial success stories, to hear the originals and changemakers behind them, and to draw lessons to inspire many more stories across the continent. This virtuous cycle is fundamental to pool talent and investments, and ultimately create startup “unicorns” that would benefit Africa's prosperity. Fadel is a strong advocate of entrepreneurial ecosystem building and private sector development as true engines of sustainable economic growth. And he is a firm believer in leveraging innovation and technology to leapfrog development constraints and scale up social and economic impact. He holds a Ph.D. in Economics from Oxford University, as well as degrees from Columbia University and the London School of Economics. He started his career in investment banking in London, and has held various positions in International Financial Institutions (views are his own).
