Your staff is counting on you. And you realize: the business you built can't pay itself.

Is There Actually Money In Fashion? Papy Kaluw On Where Fashion Stands.

The global fashion industry is worth $2.5 trillion. Africa's share? $31 billion, barely 1%. Papy Kaluw knows what that gap feels like. He left Congo as a child, dropped out of university, taught himself fashion, and built Urban Zulu from nothing. Today, he's dressed celebrities and opened pop-ups in Manhattan. But the journey from selling T-shirts outside Market Theatre to running a global brand has been anything but glamorous. In this conversation with Leslie Kasumba, Papy gets honest about why he left South Africa, whether his brand will outlive him, and the question no one asks: is there actually money in this business? This is not a victory lap. It's a founder sitting inside the tension between scramble and stable.

Who Sent You To Start A Company?! 'Oma Areh On Business, Burnout And Survival..

Oma Areh has worked with everyone from Coca-Cola to Davido to Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie. She's a PR powerhouse, film producer, and now a pioneer in the $26 billion micro-drama industry. But her journey started with a column called "How to Get the Man of Your Dreams" at age twenty and a father who announced the end of the Biafran war at sixteen. In this episode of The Salary Scramble, Oma sits down with Lee Kasumba to talk about why African storytelling has been undervalued, what it takes to build a multi-arm creative ecosystem, and why she's betting big on vertical storytelling. She also gets real about the month she couldn't make payroll, the client she fired, and why Nigerian women don't need anyone's permission to be excellent. If you've ever wondered how the creative economy actually works and how to survive the scramble, this one's for you.
