The Day 'Detola met a Dragon

I never believed it would happen in my lifetime  

Yass!!! I finally met a real life "Dragon" ...  

I mean of the "Dragon Den" kind.  

Been a long time coming as I won Theo Paphitis's Small Business Award back in Sep 2016. Finally made it to Birmingham last week Friday to pick up my award in person.  

Was also glad to part of this year's "Small Business Sunday's" 10th Anniversary event. 

Oh what a day Mr Paphitis put on for us SBS winners. So insightful. 

Thanks Funke for being my forever "wing-woman" all the way from Canada!  

(Will share more images later).

Wonder why it took me over 3 years to attend this awesome event?

Definitely back next year!

Detola & Geek wins Theo Paphitis's Small Business Sunday award!

Some things are so rare that the chances of it happening is equal to one winning the lottery.

My one woman small handmade business won Theo Paphitis's small business Sunday award on 12th September 2016.

So you could imagine how amazed. elated, gobsmacked & speechless atimes I have been since Monday.

All kind of emotions happening at the same time!

At some point I could barely breathe.

Hard work really pays off. You've got to be in it to win it. I live by this mantra 100%.

You also have to be very passionate about what you do. I so love picking out colourful vibrant African wax print textiles. They are the backbone of my teeny weeny business that I call Detola & Geek.

Thanks again Mr Theo Paphitis, Shopkeeper & ex-Dragons Den judge for propelling my small business into the big world of business & super brands.

Will share my official award winning badge once I've received it. 

....... and here it is, as promised
