MY HUSTLE: NNUNJI

                    

Today's hustle features 'Nnunji', the brainchild of entrepreneur Benadette Kaggwa(pictured)

Benadatte Kaggwa is a former Client Service and Operations Consultant, who worked in an Investment Bank for almost 5 years and holds a diploma in Web Design. She has a natural talent in art and designing.

                           

Aside from managing her online magazine and online store business, Bena is also a Web Designer by profession; she provides web designing services to individual and corporate clients under the subsidiary name IE Web Designing, registered under ImageEtiquette Advisory. 
  
Nnunji initially started as only ImageEtiquette Advisory, which encompassed all the facets of her business: accessories marketing, advisory tips and consultancy on etiquette, communication and style; but later she thought of separating the online shop from the advisory part of the business. ImageEtiquette Advisory now operates as an online magazine (still under publishing) for advisory tips on etiquette, communication, style & grooming, nutrition & wellness, among other miscellaneous topics.  
 

                        
Benadettes story;

Setting up and establishing the business was made possible by the fact that Nnunji’s founder and creative designer had been working in an investment bank for almost 5 years when she developed this idea. She had therefore gathered sufficient capital to realize her dream of establishing an online accessories portal, specifically of the handmade variety.

The word 'Nnunji' means 'nice' in Luganda - the main language spoken in Uganda, the native country of Nnunji's founder and creator. It is every lady's experience at one time or another to receive a compliment when she's all dressed up and donning some attractive piece of jewellery, bag, shoe or hat, that goes something like: "Wow! That’s such a nice necklace/bracelet/shoe!" 

Those simple words are often followed by another common question, "...where did you get it/where can I get one of my own?", and it is from having one too many of such experiences that the creator of Nnunji thought of establishing an online platform that will cater to every lady's need to accessorize and decorate herself - and her home too!

Nnunji’s mission is to maintain its position as the pioneers of a fully branded online shop that showcases only custom, handmade accessories, gift items & home décor in a bid to promote local artisans in Kenya and give them a presence in the international market.

Bena, as she prefers to be called, sums up her brand in three in three simple words: IMAGINE, DESIGN, CREATE!!!

In her own words: “My greatest motivation in creating and developing the Nnunji brand name is the belief that every lady can accessorize herself to enhance her appearance thus giving a boost to her self confidence and image.”
