So first to be featured on our Shentrepreneur label is Awura Abena Agyeman and she is M.A.D. (Making A Difference) in the society.
She was birthed with volumes of inspiration. A very dedicated lady
she is. Ever heard of Wear Ghana?? Well she is the Co-owner of Wear Ghana and a
great "Shentrepreneur".
EDUCATION
An old student of the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and
Technology (K.N.U.S.T.)
WEAR GHANA
WEAR GHANA started as an aside when Ewurabena was still doing a
full time job with Pro Credit. It started by a motivation she had from one
friend of hers who saw potential in her interest for designs and purchased a
whole range of fashion Books with different styles and materials for fashion
designing. She eventually quit Pro Credit because she had much passion for
fashion designing than "Business".
What started as an own made "one-design-shirt" for this
same friend on his birthday has gradually become a giant in the Fashion
industry promoting Made-In-Ghana materials.
She eventually made it known to the "now-owner" of Wear
Ghana, Angorkor Nai-Kwabe, who happens to be her roommate way back in
K.N.U.S.T.
INSPIRATION
I bet you want to know what inspires her right to make those
beautiful designs on clothes. Three things are Her inspiration.
Her biggest inspiration to my surprise is not music, leisure or
any other norm. Her biggest inspiration is God! She believes her life is in His
infallible hands and that gives her a boldness that she says she would
ordinarily not have.
Guess you've ever heard the phrase, "there's No place like
home." Note the difference between a house and a home. Yea! The people in
your house make the difference between a home and a house. Ewurabena draws
inspiration from her family too because they have so much faith in her. As to
how that happens, i guess you can visit her at work to see some designs
and like her facebook page WearGhana
Or Twitter......@WEARGHANA and you will understand better how her
family inspires her.
Never let go of your past because to Awura Abena her past also
serves as an inspiration. Knowing where she's come from and where she's
going actually serves as a stepping stone for her to see a brighter future.

Hear from the horse's own Mouth
"These are stepping stones. Our biggest challenge has been
building a strong company and brand. And we are working tirelessly to achieve
this. "
According to Awura Abena, "when you spot an opportunity to make it, never let go of
it. Work on it as an "aside" and see its yielded results".
Excellent job done Awura Abena.
