To celebrate Black History Month (UK), this month’s guest of Wrap & Chat: Culture in Conversation is the highly favoured and divinely protected Jacqueline Shaw, Founder, Author, Business Coach & Speaker, Africa Fashion Guide.
Having met Jacqueline in 2015 at one of her African Revolution Conference’s - in response to the Bangladesh textile factory collapse - where topics such as sustainability practices, regional differences in cultures / textiles and manufacturing benefits in relation to trading across the continent of Africa were discussed in-depth; her impressive business ascent continues to flourish.
Born in the UK of Jamaican heritage, and a bookworm with an insatiable thirst for knowledge, Jacqueline knew from her teenage years that she wanted to work within the creative industry and pursued her goals with laser focus.
“Like many of us, I struggled with self-sabotage when younger…”
During our interview, I was touched by her warmth, honesty and vulnerability as our conversation covered some of the early setbacks and challenges faced however, her deep christian faith - and belief in herself - I believe has been both the source and seed for her business, Africa Fashion Guide, embedding its roots so deeply in our fashion consciousness. To get an authentic understanding of the African fashion landscape, you would be a fool to not tap in and procure Jacqueline for her extensive business consulting services. Her insightful observation:
“It’s more about…the vision of your purpose…when you make God CEO of your business, that’s how you can leave a legacy business and create impact…”
Jacqueline’s top 4 recommended books for reading are:
1) Rich Dad Pour Dad, Robert Kiyosaki and Sharon Lechter.
2) The Richest Man in Babylon, George Samuel Clason .
3) The Bible.
4) Feel The Fear and Do It Anyway, Susan Jeffers.
