One of my faves! Have you seen our Nikeh silhouhette? It is one of our most popular everyday yet stylish designs. So why the name Nikeh? Again, our goal is not just to create "bags that empower" but to inform our HOT Tribe about the history and beauty of the African continent that continues to empower us. Nikeh (Nike actually) is short for Adenike, a Yoruba name that means "the crown is cherished". The Yoruba are an ethnic group located in present day Nigeria, but with significant populations of Yoruba and Yoruba descended people can be found primarily in Benin, Ghana, Ivory Coast and Sierra Leone.  The Yoruba culture is rich in tradition and their influence is far reaching, spanning the waters of the Atlantic ocean with one of the largest Diasporan population located in none other than Brazil! #HouseOfTakura #BagsThatEmpower #awomanbuiltthis #BlackBusinessMonth #handcrafted #handmade #bagsandpurses #AfricanChic #blackwomanowned https://www.instagram.com/p/CSIRurXFvOS/?utm_medium=tumblr

"The race is not for the swift but for those who can endure." ~ Ecclesiastes 9:11. This scripture is one of my favorites and stays with me always because building a successful career or business is truly about endurance.  There is no such thing as an overnight success.  Overnight successes take years to build. With this in mind, our 2021 Energy is to play the long game. Nothing worth having comes quickly. Nothing that lasts happens overnight.  The long game is played in so many ways and a lot of people believe it is about staying motivated. I have found in my years of building this brand that it is most certainly not the case.  Consistency is the ultimate closer of deals. Motivation gets us started but consistency allows us to finish what we have started. Play the long game. Wishing you a week filled with consistency. Close the deal everyday! ~ Annette #founderinchief #HouseOfTakura #BagsThatEmpower #awomanbuiltthis #motiv8 #mompreneur #motiv8ed #handcraftedbag #africantraditions #westerninfluences #africanaccessories https://www.instagram.com/p/CRfMGvoFU_X/?utm_medium=tumblr
