...She's a story teller.Â
Â
My creations come from me knowing a story, and trying to find the light that is inevitably there within my perception of the story.
Â
I've hated myself for about ten years now, because I would not accept my passion. I have tried to be everything and everyone else, but who I am called to be. It back-fired.
Â
"Obianuju, who do you want to be?"
Â
"Mma, I want to be a story teller. I want to create clothing."
Â
"JuBabe, what type of stories do you want to tell?"
Â
"I want to know who I AM. The stories that I will tell will vary, from being a foreigner to telling about my childhood in Nigeria."
Â
"Why do you want to tell stories? And how do you plan on doing such through clothing and fashion?"
Â
"I want to tell stories because I have both a purpose and a void to fill; both must be relinquished by my last breath. I will not go back to my Creator having done nothing with the gift He gave me."
Â
"JuBabe, whatever you wish you to do, I am here with you. Always."
Â
Â
My grandmother, Mma Nneoma, is in a much better place, but she's very much alive in my projects. This creativity isn't mine. It's hers. She was the creative genius in the family. So whatever I do on this platform I do in honor of her.Â
