More than content this is motivational speaking 🥰. She spoke about preparing for seasons 🔥🔥🔥. Then I notice that both she and her partner have learned how to blend, adapt with situations, culture, learn how to learn and unlearn , trusting God, being simple and all. Amazing

Been subscribed to her for years. I really thought her earnings would have been much higher based on her excellent skills. Hope more people get to know her and she can scale her business more. She is great at what she does. Probably could take a few of her patterns and get them manufactured small batch. as someone who is in the industry I know it can be hard to sew so much on your own but also very expensive to manufacture.

She doesn't make as much as her skills match, but she can grow. Especially her buisness, and digital products. But her journey is amazing and her zeal. Go Girl! Edit: OMG!!! I remember her! Her KZfaq videos made pattern making really easy for me. She used to wear a low cut then. I really enjoyed her videos, they were very thorough, easy to understand, and helpful. Also: Taiwo invest in shorts and reels.

Great job Kim, keep striving. There is no easy money out there so hard work has to pay. I have seen so many videos where young people get success but the growth path didn't make any sense and if I may say their stories are very skeptical to anyone who really attempted to be inspired to work hard from the ground up. ❤
