icreate Africa. www.icreateafrica.com Malissa Onojo, Skill Champion Garment Making “Before iCreate, I ran the business OH TAILOR but wanted to do more with what I had. iCreate did not only gave me this platform but a new view about myself as an individual with the validation that “hand work na work”. ICreate taught me that there is nothing I cannot do as long as I set my mind to it. It also taught me that I had more than I need to be a great influence to every skilled individual. It has opened doors for me. Still people often try to be disrespectful and rude because I only offer a service. But with time, people will realize that the work of our profession shall be valued. 22 I am looking forward to build a well known and established sustainable fashion brand renowned for sustainability in and out of Africa. Thus, I must bag my degree in environmental sciences and resource management and combine it with my fashion business. It gives me joy to inspire others to follow a similar path like mine. Improving my skills, dedicate myself to lifelong learning while adding value to the society and sharing my knowledge I have acquired over the years through trainings, seminars, online learning and and books.”
