I have won over $200,000 in competitive scholarships and grants — recognised by the American Psychological Association, the David Axelrod Institute, and the National Communication Association.

I am a mother, researcher, author, and founder. I hold a BA and MA in Classics (First Class Honors, University of Ibadan), an MA in Communications (University of Alabama), and am completing my MSW at the University of Chicago. A JD, Executive MBA, and PhD in Behavioral Neuroscience are next.

I ran the Chicago Marathon, founded the Iya Kudi docu-podcast, the Left Handers Club, and ideyforyou — an ecosystem bridging placement, work, and community through Gida, ideyforyou labs, and FriendsCave.

Iya Kudi is a docu-podcast that travels the world to collect diaspora stories — people who left home carrying the traumas of the places they came from, and had to navigate entirely new traumas in entirely new spaces.

These are the stories no one tells because no one asked the right questions. I am asking them. If you have a story — invite me. I will come to you.

This store is not for everyone. It is for founders — the ones building with heart and soul, carrying the weight of a vision while the world asks if it is real. The ones who need the most care and rarely ask for it.

Custom-made clothing, spices, personal care items, and curated lifestyle products — designed to restore, elevate, and remind you why you started. From C-suite Afro-fusion outfits to everyday essentials, every product carries the same DNA as everything Bisola-Mariam builds: street-smart, globally inspired, unapologetically distinct.

You build for everyone. This was built for you.
