Khangadelic Fashion is taking the fashion industry by storm. The story behind it, is exclusively inspiring.
To one Wacu Kihara, entrepreneurship is not alien. The 47-year-old tried her hand in numerous lucrative projects, including dairy farming, event planning, decoration and flower arrangement, and at one point she grew and supplied potatoes to hotels in Naivasha.
Life, however, has a way to bring us back to our true target, and that meant becoming a Wacu fashion designer.
When I young I knew I wanted to be a fashion designer but I kept being told to think of a more conventional career
