As the curtains draw to a close on TALES 2024, we reflect on the incredible journey that has unfolded over the past week. From the vibrant stalls to the joyous cultural exchanges, every moment has been a testament to the rich tapestry of African creativity and entrepreneurship. Yet, as we bid farewell to this year’s event, it’s only fitting to shine a spotlight on the visionary leader whose passion and dedication have made TALES an unforgettable experience—our Founder, Bukky Asehinde.

Bukky’s warm smile and infectious energy are the lifeblood of TALES. Wherever you look, there she is, hugging creatives, welcoming guests, giving gifts, or sharing her profound love for African culture and creativity. Her presence is a constant reminder of the heart and soul that drive this incredible event.

The Visionary Leader: Bukky Asehinde

Bukky Asehinde, founder of Bellafricana; is a beacon of hope and empowerment for African entrepreneurs. Her journey started with a simple yet powerful idea: to create a platform that showcases the immense talent and creativity of African artisans to a global audience. Through Bellafricana, Bukky has built a thriving ecosystem that supports and nurtures African creatives, providing them with the tools and opportunities they need to succeed.

Bukky’s dedication to her mission is unwavering. Her commitment to excellently promoting African creativity and entrepreneurship is evident in every aspect of TALES. She has created a space where artists, designers, and makers can connect with a global audience, fostering cultural exchange and economic empowerment. Her work has not only elevated African creatives but has also inspired countless others to pursue their passions and share their talents with the world.

The Impact of TALES

TALES transcends the traditional pop-up event experience; it is a unique celebration of African craftsmanship and innovation. This year’s event has been a showcase of the best that Africa has to offer, featuring a curated selection of uniquely handcrafted products, fashion, art, beauty, and culinary delights. The event has evolved into a true African Lifestyle Experience, drawing visitors from all corners of the globe to experience the rich diversity of African culture.

The impact of TALES extends far beyond the event itself. By providing a platform for African entrepreneurs to showcase their work, TALES has helped to drive economic progress and social advancement across the continent. The event has fostered meaningful connections and collaborations, promoting cultural exchange and inspiring others to contribute to the development of Africa’s creative industries.

A Community of Creatives

At the heart of TALES is the community of creatives who bring the event to life. These talented individuals are the backbone of Bellafricana, and their dedication and passion are evident in every product, every performance, and every interaction. From fashion designers to artisans, chefs to artists, the diversity of talent on display at TALES is truly awe-inspiring.

Bukky’s role in nurturing this community cannot be overstated. Her vision for Bellafricana has always been to create a supportive environment where creatives can thrive. Through mentorship, training, and access to a global market, Bukky has empowered countless entrepreneurs to turn their dreams into reality. Her efforts have created a ripple effect, inspiring a new generation of African creatives to pursue their passions and make their mark on the world.

Celebrating African Heritage

One of the most remarkable aspects of TALES is its celebration of African heritage. The event is a vibrant tapestry of culture, showcasing the rich traditions and artistic expressions that define Africa. From traditional dances to contemporary art, every element of TALES is a tribute to the continent’s diverse cultural heritage.

Bukky’s passion for African culture is at the heart of this celebration. Her dedication to preserving and promoting African traditions is evident in every aspect of the event. By highlighting the beauty and richness of African heritage, Bukky has helped to foster a deeper appreciation for the continent’s cultural contributions. Her work has not only elevated African creatives but has also inspired others to explore and celebrate their own cultural identities.

Empowering Entrepreneurs

TALES is about showcasing talent as much as it’s about empowering entrepreneurs to succeed. Through Bellafricana, Bukky has created a platform that provides creatives with the resources and support they need to grow their businesses. From marketing and branding to financial management and export opportunities, Bellafricana offers a comprehensive suite of services designed to help entrepreneurs thrive.

The impact of this support is evident in the success stories of the many creatives who have benefited from Bellafricana’s programs. By providing access to a global market, Bukky has opened doors for African entrepreneurs that were previously out of reach. Her work has helped to level the playing field, giving talented individuals the opportunity to compete on the world stage and achieve their full potential.

A Global Movement

TALES is more than just an event; it is a global movement that is changing the way the world sees African creativity. By bringing together diverse communities and stakeholders, TALES is fostering a global dialogue about the importance of cultural exchange and economic empowerment. The event has become a platform for showcasing the best of African craftsmanship and innovation, inspiring others to support and invest in African creatives.

Bukky’s vision for TALES extends far beyond the event itself. She sees it as a catalyst for change, a way to inspire others to take action and support the development of Africa’s creative industries. Her work has helped to create a global network of supporters who are committed to promoting and celebrating African talent. This movement is driving a new narrative about Africa, one that highlights the continent’s rich cultural heritage and its immense potential for growth and innovation.

From the dawn of time, humans by nature are categorised as social animals and my guess is (even though I’m not usually one to opt for compartmentalism), this is for a valid reason. Think about it like this if it helps, in our daily lives we constantly see and feel the invaluable importance of community be it in a family, with friends, at school or work. The simple truth is, people need people. We all crave connection, belonging and support from the moment we take our first breath. This fundamental need for human connection is what makes community so essential to our individual well-being and success.

As a prolific poet once said, “No man is an island.”

Honoring the Memory of Our Beloved Mentor – Prince Adeyemi Adefulu MFR

Remembering Prince Adeyemi Adefulu our dear Bellafricana mentor

With heavy hearts and tear-filled eyes, we bid farewell to a pillar of strength, wisdom, and love in our lives. Our dear mentor, whose guidance, support, and unwavering belief in Bellafricana shaped our journey for over a decade, has left this world to embark on his eternal journey. Though we mourn his loss deeply, we find solace in knowing that he touched countless lives with his kindness, generosity, and boundless spirit.

From the moment our paths crossed and our hearts connected, it was evident that a divine bond had been formed. His nurturing presence, akin to that of a loving father, enveloped us in warmth and encouragement, propelling us forward on our entrepreneurial quest with renewed determination and purpose. Through every triumph and challenge, he stood by our side, a beacon of strength and inspiration, guiding us with his sage advice and firm support.

Our mentor’s impact extended far beyond the realm of business; he became an integral part of our family, embracing our joys and sorrows as his own. His genuine interest in our lives, from the growth of Bellafricana to the arrival of our beloved baby Bellafricana, exemplified the depth of his compassion and the richness of his character. He celebrated our milestones with boundless joy and shared in our moments of sorrow with heartfelt empathy, a testament to the depth of his love and friendship.

One of the most cherished memories we hold dear is his enthusiastic support for the ACE Awards initiative in 2016. With unwavering dedication and boundless generosity, he poured his time, resources, and unwavering belief into bringing our vision to life, leaving an indelible mark on our hearts and the Bellafricana community.

As we navigate the void left by his absence, we find comfort in the enduring legacy he leaves behind. His wisdom, guidance, and unwavering belief in our potential will continue to inspire us in our journey, serving as a beacon of light to guide us through life’s twists and turns.

To our dear mentor, whose presence illuminated our lives with warmth, wisdom, and love, we say thank you. Thank you for believing in us, for nurturing our dreams, and for blessing us with your unwavering support and friendship. Though you may no longer walk beside us, your spirit will forever remain etched in our hearts, a guiding light to lead us through the darkest of nights.

With love, gratitude, and profound sorrow,

Bukky Asehinde, Tobi Asehinde and the Bellafricana Family

A Letter of Encouragement To A “Dear Entrepreneur”

A letter of encouragement

I know, my dear entrepreneur, that sometimes the beginning of the year can stir a mix of emotions, including anxiety and fear.

I want you to know that you’re not alone in feeling this way. I’ve been there, standing at the intersection of aspirations and uncertainties. Two years ago, I, too, faced a crossroads that nearly led me to give up on my business. But here’s what pulled me through, and I believe it can be a guiding light for you as well. And that is why I decided to come up with A letter of encouragement to a “dear entrepreneur.”

1. Show Yourself Compassion:

In the pursuit of ambitious goals, we often forget the importance of self-compassion. It’s okay not to have everything figured out. Be gentle with yourself, change your perspective, celebrate your victories, and embrace the learning curves.

A Letter of Encouragement
2. Prayer and Divine Guidance:

Lean into your faith and seek guidance from God. Personally, prayer became an anchor during uncertain times. Trust in the divine plan for your life, and let it guide you through the uncharted waters.

Enter the year knowing that “God has worked all things for your good” not that He is still in the process of working it out!

Meaning: It’s not going to happen in your future, it is already DONE!

So renew your mindset to this FACT and OPEN your eyes to the opportunities around you.

A Letter of Encouragement

3. Show Up, Despite the Feelings:

There’s tremendous power in showing up, especially when the weight of anxiety tries to hold you back. Sometimes, the simple act of putting one foot in front of the other opens up new possibilities. Remember, courage is not the absence of fear but the triumph over it.

A Letter of Encouragement

4. Stop Overthinking:

Overthinking is a silent thief of joy and progress. Break free from the shackles of overanalysis. Trust your instincts, make decisions with the information at hand, and allow room for spontaneity and creativity.

My dear entrepreneur, remember this; you possess a resilience that has carried you through challenges before, and it will continue to do so. The canvas of a new year is blank, awaiting the strokes of your creativity and the colors of your determination.

I encourage you to carry these lessons with you. Be kind to yourself, seek guidance, show up bravely, and release the burden of overthinking. Remember, you have the strength within you to turn the uncertainties of the future into opportunities for growth.

May this year be a canvas painted with success, joy, and fulfillment.

With unwavering support and belief in your journey,

Ps: click here to listen to this message from me

Rooting for you always,

Bukky Asehinde (aka Creatives Mother Hen),

Founder at Bellafricana.
