Show notes

On this episode of Tea With Tay, Temisan sits with fashion designer extraordinaire and founder of Veekee James, Victoria James for a mindblowing tell-all on her childhood, her fashion origin, her success so far as well as her Christian faith. Born and bred in Ajegunle, Veekee James tells us about life as the first daughter to a widowed tailor mom. She gives us the tea on how she'd always been a hustler right from primary school, working as a hairdresser, makeup artiste and any other skills she could pick up. This became a blessing and a curse later on in university as her business flourished but detracted from her studies, eventually contributing to her decision to withdraw in her final year after facing sexual harassment from lecturers. This episode of Tea With Tay shows the perfect plan that's God's plan and how in due time, the dots will align in favour for those who love Him as Veekee James shares how she eventually decided to start a career in fashion design after running it from it due to a perception of it being unlucrative. 5 years later, Veekee James is one of the biggest bridal-styled bespoke fashion brands in Africa, inspiring numerous other designers down the line. But there's even more to Victoria's success story as the designer talks about her fiance, their relationship and her engagement which she'd kept under wraps as well as a scandal that almost rocked their relationship. This episode is an absolute rollercoaster that will enrich and inspire you.
