It's our birthday today!!! My Asho proudly turns 3 today and we are thankful to all of you for visiting our Site/blog/Facebook/twitter. Your patronage is very truly appreciated.
I vividly recall the sense of anticipation I felt when I launched the Site on the 1st June 2009. I was on a train when the Site went live so the actual moment was missed, but I do remember getting messages from friends and family and beaming excitedly from ear to ear, whilst my fellow train passengers looked at me like I was a crazy woman.
And I suppose maybe I was a bit crazy then. I was launching the first online retail store catering to African designers both at home and in the diaspora. This was at a time when very few designers had websites or stores or studios or travelled round the world participating in fashion shows. Or had international celebrities wearing their clothes, or were featured in top fashion magazines. It was so different back then...but that was only 3 short years ago...imagine what could happen in the next 3 years!
With that ahead, I wish the entire My Asho team including all our designers, a very happy birthday. May we continue to grow and may God continue to grant us opportunities through which we may flourish.
