Bellafricana’s End of Year Round Up

Year end round up

Reflecting on the past 12 months, our 2023 end of year round up is a journey through the highs, the lessons, and the growth. Join us as we revisit milestones, celebrate achievements, and look forward to what this year holds. It’s a moment to appreciate the collective journey and the stories that have shaped our year.

We kick off this with a Letter from our founder Mrs Bukky Asehinde, to you;

As we bid farewell to 2023, I find myself reflecting on a chapter that almost didn’t happen – a chapter I was almost ready to close. I sat on my laptop about the same time last year ready to inform you that Bellafricana was shutting down!

I share this not just as a founder but as a companion on this winding entrepreneurial road.

Exactly a year ago, at the verge of giving up, I faced the daunting prospect of letting go of Bellafricana. Relocating to the UK with my young family added to the weight of uncertainty.

If you’re a dream carrier who recently relocated, the struggle might hit close to home! Balancing the need for a stable income against the pursuit of your entrepreneurial dreams can be a real challenge.

In pursuit of what seemed like a promising detour – 7 months of searching for a job, finally getting a new job as a Community and Marketing Manager – I walked away after just one month. Little did I know that this detour was a divine setup for a remarkable comeback.

At this juncture, I realised my passion for realising the Bellafricana dream had transformed into an unyielding obsession to achieve it.

This year, I dared myself to dream again: Have a look at the milestones summary –

  1. Re-Opened the Bellafricana tech-enabled community FREE in March 2023, a home for more creative entrepreneurs.
  2. Launched Bellafricana Pop-up Store in Nigeria in April 2023.
  3. Introduced Bellafricana Travels in April/May 2023.
  4. Launched Bellafricana UK with a pop-up event on London’s Oxford Street in July/August 2023.
  5. Introduced my first official course, the Invisible to Page One Google SEO Course in November 2023.
  6. Embarked on one-on-one business coaching sessions, charging at least £100 an hour, in November 2023.

I give all the glory to God for turning my test into a testimony. He has a way of working it all out for our good.

Why am I sharing this? Because I know the weight of uncertainty, the frustration of unmet expectations, and the contemplation of letting go. If you’re at that crossroad, let me be the voice that says, “Your detour might just be a setup for a remarkable comeback.”

Hold on, dear entrepreneur. Trust the process, the detours and the unique journey that is yours. It’s not always about the speed but the direction.

May your year close with hope, renewed courage, and the unwavering belief that, indeed, the best is yet to come.

Rooting for your journey,

Bukky Asehinde (Founder, Bellafricana).
