004: Tshepo the Jean Maker - If it’s ok for Meghan Markle, it’s ok for me

I originally published my written story about Tshepo the Jean Maker in June. It had one of the best responses of all my pieces so far. And no wonder, because Tshepo Mohlala is inspiring and he speaks from the heart.Tshepo Mohlala’s story, values and life philosophy are a perfect match for everything that I am striving to show in this podcast series. From the most humble beginnings, Tshepo (meaning hope), the self-taught stylist and designer, has built his business from the ground up, and is now recognised as one of South Africa’s hippest denim brands.In this recording, I talk about:The unexpected visit from the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge in 2019Growing up in downtrodden Tsakane under the influence of his aunt and grandparentsBecoming Tshepo the Jean MakerThe celebrity followingHope for the futureI always encourage my readers and listeners to share these stories. In this case, I really urge you to take a moment to share and tweet - the more we do this, the sooner Tshepo’s beautiful Presidential Slim Fit jeans will make it to the UK!Please subscribe to this series so I can share even more amazing stories with you.
