Guest: Taiwo Meghoma - Brand Strategist.
What would you say are the top 3 character traits that are needed to do your job?:
1) Believe in yourself.
2) Be authentic and truthful to the brands that you are advising.
3) Be passionate coupled with patience.
This month’s guest of Wrap & Chat: Culture in Conversation is the debonair and stylish, Taiwo Meghoma, Brand Strategist.
Taiwo and I met in early Spring ‘22 at an event hosted by African Fashion Week London (AFWL). Having been introduced, we struck up a delightful conversation and discovered that we were both planning to be in New York later in the year at the exact same time. Swapping business details we promised to keep in touch with each other.
Born to Nigerian parents, Taiwo’s initial career pathway was in a different field however, fate intervened to take him in a new fashion creative direction. Providing services to luxury fashion brands, plus world renowned entertainment industry heavyweights including a recent Oscar winner; Taiwo has built up a reputation for discretion, accuracy and possessing an innate understanding of what his client/s strategic vision is - for their business or personal brand -and how best to achieve that in as many or as few steps as possible.
“All brands are diferrent…who is your audience…what is your story to tell…”
A strong advocate of speaking great powers over oneself, Taiwo also believes in turning negatives into positives no matter the challenge or obstacle one is facing. We both agreed that our longest and greatest relationships - platonic or romantic - is the one we have with ourselves. To that extent, he honours his mental + physical health and emotional wellbeing by starting his day and providing space for himself at a time when most of us are still deep in sleep. The irony is that even in those precious moments, Taiwo’s most indispensable tool to do his job is his smartphone. Because when Hollywood calls, one must not only answer but continue to deliver!
Taiwo’s top 3 self-care tips - which also helped him during the pandemic - are:
1) Exercising at home / gym.
2) Making homemade pomegranate juice.
3) Listening to Kirk Whalum.
