In this episode, Lilly talks to Navalayo Osembo-Ombati - CEO and Co-Founder of Enda Athletic, Inc. Navalayo takes Lilly along her journey of founding the first running shoes and athletic brand to come from the continent. Navalyo shares her experience conceptualizing Enda and the innovation inspired by traditional Kenyan arts and culture that led to creating the brand, a story, and ultimately - a way of preserving and communicating African history. They talk about how Enda has built a community driven by the spirit of "Harambee," which has enabled them to bring the running legacy of East Africa to the world. Navalayo shares her strong belief in the unity of the continent and how "buying Black" is how we continue to build the industries created on African soil. And in the spirit of International Women's History Month, Lilly and Navalayo talk about the incredible women who have walked the journey with Navalayo and have served as a source of inspiration and encouragement as she goes through her career journey.
