Thank you @busayonyc & @mastercard for including me in this incredible project 💯💯🖤 [Repost] ————————————————— We are in such deep gratitude we don’t know where to start. One of my dear friends has the phrase “Dreams do come true” as her mantra and her email sign off. And I have to admit being really skeptical especially during the lean years where it was unclear whether Busayo would have the reach I had dreamed of and imagined for the brand. I have to say I was wrong, dreams do come true! A huge milestone for Busayo was our inclusion in The New Wave program, Saks’ emerging Designers accelerator program sponsored by MasterCard. The road to that milestone was long and would not have happened without my family, the most supportive friends a woman can ask for, our mentors @mercedesgpc @raisefashionnow, @hillaryss @unlockherpotential and, @neuhausideas. Thank you @mastercard and @saks for sharing our story. Thank you to our entire Nigeria and Brooklyn based team especially our makers and artisans. And our right hands @okeidaniel and @prestxo. Thank you to the incredible crew, the team at MasterCard and Saks for their continued support.
