Who says you cannot be creative….if only we can use just 5% of our brain daily.

Founder Dolapo Shobanjo says she started My Asho -- taken from the Yoruba word "aso" which means cloth -- when she realized that African designers were not getting the promotion they deserved.
"I contacted the top designers, I spoke to them and asked them about their struggle and how difficult it is for them," says Shobanjo. "That's really how it got started, so to create that credible infrastructure is to show the global demand for the products and that will kick start the productions."

With clients in more than 50 countries, Shobanjo's goal is to create a sustainable business model for My Asho. At the same time, she also wants her company to help her continent by supporting local African communities where the clothes are manufactured.

As a result, Shobanjo's prioritized working with ethical brands that show a commitment to fair labor practices and create opportunities for their communities.
"I'm supporting Africa, helping it grow and creating jobs,I think it is better to create from the start ethical principles and work with designers who pay their tailors well, who are investing in helping their communities grow and then once you grow as a business then you know that they will also grow as well."

Today, My Asho stocks a variety of womenswear, children's clothes and accessories from more than 30 African designers. Shobanjo says she is very careful when it comes to selecting new designers, making sure they have high professional standards.

We are what we want to be………..

Just like most Rappers he started off really rough but hey! he decided to use just 5% of his brain…from being a drug dealer to an icon in the entertainment industry and now a business mogul.

An American rapper whose albums Get Rich or Die Tryin' and The Massacre have both achieved multi-platinum status. 50 cent (born Curtis James Jackson, 6.7.1975) was a drug dealer at the age of 12,was arrested in 1994 for cocaine to an undercover police officer. He was sentenced to three to nine years in prison but served only six months in an incarceration boot camp. In 2000 when he had quit dealing with drugs to pursue a music career

Talk about 360 degree turn,50 cent now has a new energy drink Street King. 50 Cent has linked the product to the United Nations World Food Program, promising to donate one meal for every bottle sold. It is an ambitious goal, but then Curtis "50 Cent" Jackson is an ambitious man..

Jackson describes it as an evolution. "It has been a gradual process. At this point I need to show growth and do different things and be a strong impression on people's life without it relating to music. Music was the platform for me to get enough attention to matter. Now I can do things that are really effective."
