ep 4. Meji Meji: Founder Tolu Oye on following her calling

Recording my first podcast episode on the road in Lagos, Nigeria felt like the perfect opportunity to sit down with someone whose work has been shaping culture far beyond the city itself. In this episode, I talk with Tolu Oye, founder of Meji Meji, about how she transformed a creative idea into a brand that sparks nostalgia, celebrates identity, and connects people across the diaspora. We dive into the stories behind the designs, the realities of believing in yourself and following your calling, and what it takes to create something so distinct that people instantly recognize it. More than a conversation about fashion, this episode explores creativity, community, and the courage to trust your vision even when the path isn’t clear. Tolu’s story left me inspired, and I think it will leave you thinking differently about what it means to build a brand that means something. Shop: mejimeji.co Follow:   / tolucoye
