About Me

born from humble background schooled at public university as a teacher, through hardship and hardworking is the best way of achiving a goal believing in my self and trusting in God. am a person who is positive about every aspect of life.
Walking through the mall I knew everyone was looking at me. They didn’t like me being there. I wanted to get my new shoes quick and leave. Walking down the aisle, I saw a really nice pair of white sneakers. There was only this one pair in my size left. I put them on and couldn’t believe how good they felt. I walked all around the store in them, thinking how nice it would be if they were mine. I knew I didn’t have the money to get them that day but I also knew that if I waited, they’d be gone. I brought them up to the front of the store and asked the guy behind the counter if he would hold them for me. He said it was against store policy. I promised him I would come back as soon as I could to buy them, but he just kept shaking his head and saying no, he couldn’t. I put my masking tape sneakers back on and left the mall as fast as I could.

For the next two weeks, I scraped by until I had enough money to go back for my shoes. Funny how I kept calling them mine, as if somehow I could protect them from going home with anyone else. The day I had enough money, I ran all the way to the mall, and ignored all those people staring at my masking tape shoes. I went to the shelf where I left them, with my eyes half shut afraid to look. Sure enough they were gone. I looked at every pair of shoes in the aisle that had my size, but there were no shoes left like them. They were gone.

I started for the door. I wasn’t ready to try on anything else that day. I just felt too worn down to look any more. That’s when the manager yelled at me. I started to walk faster to get away, but he ran after me, still yelling. “I have your shoes”. It took me a few times of hearing it to get what he meant.

My Business

my business is all about shoe selling getting enough funds is achallenge t o expand on my shop if i all receive the loan will make sure tha i have expanded my business
I deal with ladies and kids shoes imported and custom made clothes designs mostly made from the African fabrc. Having discovered a uniqueness in women's ever so dynamic fashion trends for both imported and custom made wares, i purpose to remain relevant in the maret through embracing what current times wants for all genders. I hope to walk this journey again with this supportive Zidisha team and look forward to a continued success story

If granted yet another loan I will expand my business further and explore other available options in the wares industry. Probably venture into men's wears as well. I have so far seen my business grow, thanks to the loans Zidisha has furnished me thus far so efficiently and so promptly. I hope to move a step ahead by expanding my business further through stocking more and more and work on enhancing stocks variety to cater for all. I look forward to being a disciplined beneficiary who will not disappoint when it comes to repaying my loans on time and maintain a continued business success story through notable development business wise.
