As a social entrepreneur, he is using his company to invest in the future of Africa by building schools in rural villages and by manufacturing 100% of his products on the continent. The company's first school was built in the rural Nigerian village of Urhokuosa where Uyi’s father grew up.
His mission is simple: to produce great products, create economic opportunity, and empower the youth of Africa to change their communities and in the process, the world.
Uyi comments, "When our customers wear our clothing, we want them to have a feeling of empowerment, a feeling that makes them think, 'Well done' or as we say in Nigeria, 'NASO.'"
Just recently, Uyi and his company partnered with Banana Republic for a four-day pop-up shop in their flagship store in Manhattan, New York City (Rockefeller Center).
