Big news! I am so honored to be part of the 2026 IEC Retail Incubator Program, a transformative journey that has empowered my growth as a woman immigrant entrepreneur. Following the official ribbon-cutting ceremony on May 20th, I will be hosting a live, five-day retail pop-up in Ottawa's historic ByWard Market from July 22 to July 27, 2026.

This market is deeply rooted in the spirit of Ubuntu—"I am because we are"—and we couldn't think of a better way to start our year than by connecting with all of you in person.
As I sit here reflecting on the past year and the start of this fresh one, my heart is truly full. When I started Chez Kwetu, I knew I wanted to create things that brought joy and inspiration to others—but I didn’t realize how much joy you would bring to me.
