On today’s episode of Earn Your Leisure, we sit down with Kwaku Bediako, founder of Chocolate Clothes Global, for a powerful conversation on fashion, culture, and building a global brand with African roots 🌍👕. Kwaku breaks down what inspired him to expand Chocolate Clothes Global, how a six-month run on CNN helped legitimize and scale the brand, and why African influence is shaping global fashion more than ever. He also shares how America played a role in the brand’s evolution, the mentality required to succeed as a fashion designer, and the realities of building a business on the continent. We dive into pivotal moments—including a styling opportunity with Steve Harvey, lessons from a missed chance to style Naomi Campbell, and how Chocolate Clothes Global landed a partnership with the NBA. From building a subscription model to understanding why organic growth takes time, this episode is packed with real gems for creatives, entrepreneurs, and anyone looking to build something meaningful and global. #EarnYourLeisure #ChocolateClothesGlobal #AfricanFashion #FashionBusiness #BlackOwnedBusiness #GlobalBrand #Entrepreneurship #CreativeEconomy #AfricanCreators #FashionIndustry #BusinessFromAfrica #CulturalImpact #BrandBuilding #SubscriptionBusiness #NBApartnership #OrganicGrowth
