This week on Originaires, we sit down with Rachel Bashabe, a Ugandan-British fashion entrepreneur and the powerhouse behind Veryldesigns, a bold African print clothing brand. Rachel opens up about starting her brand while battling endometriosis, and how her love for fashion carried her through constant pain. From launching with just 200 followers to showcasing at London and New York Fashion Week, her story is one of resilience, creativity, and unstoppable passion. She also shares how her community has supported her journey, from growing her brand internationally to dressing one of the creators of Disney Plus’ Iwaju. Rachel talks about raising Uganda’s flag proudly in the diaspora, the challenges of being a creative in a system that offers little support, and her powerful advice for young designers who are just starting out.
